Résumé : International audience
An important issue in epilepsy research is to understand the structural and functional modifications leading to chronic epilepsy, characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures, after initial brain insult. To address this issue, we recorded and analyzed electroencephalography (EEG) and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data during epileptogenesis in the in vivo mouse model of Medial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE, kainate). Besides, this model of epilepsy is a particular form of drug-resistant epilepsy. The results indicate that high-field (4.7T) MRI parameters (T2-weighted; T2-quantitative) allow to detect the gradual neuro-anatomical changes that occur during epileptogenesis while electrophysiological parameters (number and duration of Hippocampal Paroxysmal Discharges) allow to assess the dysfunctional changes through the quantification of epileptiform activity. We found a strong correlation between EEG-based markers (invasive recording) and MRI-based parameters (non-invasive) periodically computed over the 'latent period' that spans over two weeks, on average. These results indicated that both structural and functional changes occur in the considered epilepsy model and are considered as biomarkers of the installation of epilepsy. Additionally, such structural and functional changes can also be observed in human temporal lobe epilepsy. Interestingly, MRI imaging parameters could be used to track early (day-7) structural changes (gliosis, cell loss) in the lesioned brain and to quantify the evolution of epileptogenesis after traumatic brain injury. © 2016 IEEE.

Résumé : International audience
The seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique combination of seasonal pan-tropical data sets from 89 experimental sites (68 include aboveground wood productivity measurements and 35 litter productivity measurements), their associated canopy photosynthetic capacity (enhanced vegetation index, EVI) and climate, we ask how carbon assimilation and aboveground allocation are related to climate seasonality in tropical forests and how they interact in the seasonal carbon cycle. We found that canopy photosynthetic capacity seasonality responds positively to precipitation when rainfall is < 2000 mm yr(-1) (water-limited forests) and to radiation otherwise (light-limited forests). On the other hand, independent of climate limitations, wood productivity and litterfall are driven by seasonal variation in precipitation and evapotranspiration, respectively. Consequently, light-limited forests present an asynchronism between canopy photosynthetic capacity and wood productivity. First-order control by precipitation likely indicates a decrease in tropical forest productivity in a drier climate in water-limited forest, and in current light-limited forest with future rainfall < 2000 mm yr(-1).
