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

Long‐lasting remodeling of astrocytes in an Scna1+/− mouse model of Dravet syndrome
Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a prototypical developmental and epileptic encephalopathy caused by mutations in the SCN1A gene, leading to loss of function of the voltage‐gated sodium channel Naᵥ1.1. The latter causes early onset drug‐resistant seizures and enduring cognitive and behavioral deficits.

Abstract Objective Neonatal developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with movement disorder and arthrogryposis (NDEEMA) represents the most severe end of the gain‐of‐function (GOF) SCN1A disorder spectrum. Sporadic cases of congenital arthrogryposis have also been reported in individuals with SCN2A‐, SCN3A‐, and SCN8A‐related developmental and ...

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Epilepsy syndromes classification
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes are distinct electroclinical entities which have been recently defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Nosology and Definitions Task Force. Each syndrome is associated with “a characteristic cluster of clinical and EEG features, often supported by specific etiologic findings”.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.
