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.

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?
Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

Unveiling sleep disturbances in KCNB1‐related disorders: Insights from a cohort of 78 individuals
Abstract Objectives Sleep disturbances are frequent comorbidities in epilepsies and developmental encephalopathies. This study aimed to characterize sleep abnormalities in individuals with KCNB1‐related disorders, focusing on their prevalence, clinical manifestations, and impact on daily functioning.

Rest‐activity patterns across development in two mouse models of autism and epilepsy
Abstract Objective Sleep disturbances are common in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and epilepsy and are increasingly recognized as comorbidities that affect disease severity and quality of life. This study investigated rest‐activity patterns across development in two genetic mouse models relevant to ASD and epilepsy: synapsin 2 (Syn2 ...
