The changes in brain network functional gradients and dynamic functional connectivity in SeLECTS patients revealing disruptive and compensatory mechanisms in brain networks by Linfeng Song, Guangrong Wu, Jiaren Zhang, Benqing Liu, Xu Chen, Junjun Wang, Xiaoyu Gu, Binlin Tian, Yongzhe Li, Anjie Zhang, Xuejin Ma, Lin Jiang

“…BackgroundSelf-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS), a common childhood focal epilepsy syndrome, is linked to cognitive impairments and poorly understood neuropathological mechanisms.MethodsThis study explored dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) and functional gradients (FG) alterations in key brain networks using resting-state MRI (rs-MRI) data from 34 SeLECTS patients and 32 healthy controls (HCs).ResultsThe results revealed significant dFC changes between the Default Mode Network (DMN) and Sensorimotor Network (SMN) in SeLECTS patients compared to HCs. …”

Creation of Functional Viruses from Non-Functional cDNA Clones Obtained from an RNA Virus Population by the Use of Ancestral Reconstruction. by Ulrik Fahnøe, Anders Gorm Pedersen, Carolin Dräger, Richard J Orton, Sandra Blome, Dirk Höper, Martin Beer, Thomas Bruun Rasmussen

“…Consequently it is likely that a high proportion of individual RNA virus genomes, isolated from an infected host, will contain lethal mutations and be non-functional. This is problematic if the aim is to clone and investigate high-fitness, functional cDNAs and may also pose problems for sequence-based analysis of viral evolution. …”

Dung beetle community and functions along a habitat-disturbance gradient in the Amazon: a rapid assessment of ecological functions associated to biodiversity. by Rodrigo F Braga, Vanesca Korasaki, Ellen Andresen, Julio Louzada

“…A hierarchical partitioning analysis showed that, although all community attributes had a significant effect on the three ecological functions (except the abundance of small beetles on all three ecological functions and the biomass of small beetles on secondary dispersal of large seed mimics), species richness and abundance of large beetles were the community attributes with the highest explanatory value. …”
