BackgroundBlepharospasm (BSP) and Meige Syndrome (MeS) are focal dystonias frequently associated with disability and reduced quality of life. While botulinum neurotoxin is the standard of care treatment for these conditions, they only partially and ...

Abstract Objective Although the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus (CM) is an increasingly considered deep brain stimulation (DBS) target for drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE), there is significant variability in programming practices, which may contribute to heterogenous outcomes.

Abstract Objective A significant proportion of individuals with suspected genetic developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) remain unsolved following whole genome sequencing (WGS). Here we describe biallelic RNU2‐2 variants causing a recently reported, severe, recessive DEE.

Functional profiling of STXBP1 missense variants using a novel dual‐readout fluorometric assay
Abstract Objective STXBP1‐related disorders (STXBP1‐RD) are among the most common genetic neurodevelopmental disorders, marked by early onset epilepsy, global developmental delay, and motor impairments. Many missense variants remain uncharacterized, limiting accurate variant interpretation and hindering development of precision therapies.

Association of abnormal explicit sense of agency with cerebellar impairment in myoclonus-dystonia
Non-motor aspects in dystonia are now well recognized. The sense of agency, which refers to the experience of controlling one's own actions, has been scarcely studied in dystonia, even though its disturbances can contribute to movement disorders.

A grounded theory of illness representation among musicians with embouchure dystonia/syndrome
Musician’s Task-Specific Focal Dystonia (MD) is a neurological disorder that disrupts highly trained performance-specific motor programs. Among brass and wind players, the embouchure subtype (Embouchure Dystonia, ED) affects the orofacial musculature ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Defining the Clinical Phenotypic Ground Truth: Expert Interrater Agreement in Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders [PDF]
Abstract Background Reliable clinical phenotyping is crucial for diagnosis, treatment, and research in hyperkinetic movement disorders, yet its interrater reliability remains uncertain. Objectives To quantify interrater agreement in clinical phenotyping of hyperkinetic movement disorders among experts in a large, phenotypically diverse cohort.
