Paroxysmal slow waves mark ictal networks

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy diagnosis and treatment monitoring are hindered by the episodic, heterogeneous expression of seizures and by normal‐appearing scalp electroencephalography (EEG) in many patients. We previously described paroxysmal slow‐wave events (PSWEs), brief epochs of broadband slowing detectable on EEG in people with epilepsy.

Epilepsy‐associated SCN2A‐L1342P mutation drives network hyperexcitability and widespread transcriptomic changes in human cortical organoids

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective SCN2A pathogenic mutations, such as the recurrent heterozygous Nav1.2‐L1342P, are monogenic causes of epilepsy. In this human‐induced pluripotent stem cell–derived model system, we aim to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying SCN2A‐L1342P‐associated pathology. Methods Using a human male induced pluripotent stem
