Mechanisms of SCN2A loss of function do not predict presence or phenotype of epilepsy
Abstract Objective SCN2A loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants are associated with epilepsy (onset age ≥ 3 months), intellectual disability (ID), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite numerous identified variants and the description of phenotypic subgroups, relationships between Nav1.2 channel dysfunction and clinical phenotypes remain unclear.

Cognition in adults with bottom‐of‐sulcus dysplasia and the consequences of focal resection
Abstract Objective To determine whether there are cognitive consequences of bottom‐of‐sulcus dysplasia (BOSD) when assessed as adults and whether focal resection of these lesions leads to change in cognition. Methods We studied 42 adults, of whom 39 underwent focal resection targeting the lesion.

Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is the prototypic developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, characterized by drug‐resistant seizures, developmental slowing, and many other morbidities. Detailed characterization of behavioral phenotypes and social–emotional skill development are limited.

Abstract Objective A strong bidirectional relationship exists between epilepsy and sleep, with seizures often occurring more frequently in sleep and, in turn, sleep being disrupted by seizures. However, the mechanistic basis of seizure–sleep interactions is poorly understood.

KCNJ4 variants disrupt inward‐rectifier potassium channel function and cause refractory epilepsy
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder with a strong genetic basis, most frequently arising from ion channel dysfunction. Although multiple inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels have been implicated in epileptogenesis, the contribution of KCNJ4, which encodes the Kir2.3 channel, has not previously been established in human
