Abstract Objective Current pharmacotherapy for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is limited to symptomatic treatment and leaves approximately one third of patients with inadequate seizure control. Discovering disease‐modifying targets is an unmet clinical need. We have previously identified senescent cells (SCs) as one such target. Many drugs that eliminate

Cong Fu et al. demonstrate that glymphatic system dysfunction is linked to enhanced inhibitory cortical activity using diffusion MRI and EEG. These findings highlight a mechanistic link between perivascular fluid dynamics and neuronal activity, suggesting a role for glymphatic function in maintaining cortical stability in epilepsy.

Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to determine how age influences clinical responsiveness to intracerebral electrical stimulation (IES) in children across primary and secondary sensorimotor cortices and to assess age effects on response complexity and area‐specific responsiveness.

Cardiac remodeling and arrhythmia in a mouse model of Depdc5 haploinsufficiency
Abstract Objective Some ion channel genes linked to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) are also linked to cardiac arrhythmia, leading to the hypothesis that predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias may contribute to the complex disease presentation of DEE and possibly to the mechanism of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy.

Abstract Objective Pathogenic variants in the calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II B gene (CAMK2B) have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, including epilepsy, yet the mechanisms underlying cortical dysfunction remain largely unclear.
