Short-Term Changes in Hypsarrhythmia Assessed by Spectral Analysis: Group and Individual Assessments.

To perform spectral analysis on previously recorded electroencephalograms (EEGs) containing hypsarrhythmia in an initial recording and to assess changes in spectral power (µV) in a follow-up recording after a period of 10-25 days. Fifty participants, aged 2-39 months, with hypsarrhythmia in an initial recording (R1), were compared with regard to their spectral findings in a later recording (R2). Typically, anticonvulsant therapy was initiated or modified after R1.

Hot crabs with bold choices: Temperature has little impact on behavioural repeatability in Caribbean hermit crabs.

An animal's boldness is generally considered to be influenced by genetic and developmental factors. However, abiotic factors such as temperature have profound effects on the physiology of ectothermic animals, and thus can influence the expression and measurement of this behavioural trait. We examined the relationship between temperature and behaviour in the Caribbean hermit crab (Coenobita clypeatus) using field and lab experiments.

The Role of Clonal Evolution on Progression, Blood Parameters, and Response to Therapy in Multiple Myeloma.

Introduction: A variety of biomarkers are considered for diagnosis (e.g., β2-microgobulin, albumin, or LDH) and prognosis [e.

Non-telecentric two-photon microscopy for 3D random access mesoscale imaging.

Diffraction-limited two-photon microscopy permits minimally invasive optical monitoring of neuronal activity. However, most conventional two-photon microscopes impose significant constraints on the size of the imaging field-of-view and the specific shape of the effective excitation volume, thus limiting the scope of biological questions that can be addressed and the information obtainable. Here, employing a non-telecentric optical design, we present a low-cost, easily implemented and flexible solution to address these limitations, offering a several-fold expanded three-dimensional field of view.

Spectral inference reveals principal cone-integration rules of the zebrafish inner retina.

Retinal bipolar cells integrate cone signals at dendritic and axonal sites. The axonal route, involving amacrine cells, remains largely uncharted. However, because cone types differ in their spectral sensitivities, insights into bipolar cells' cone integration might be gained based on their spectral tunings.
