WONOEP appraisal: Biomarkers and treatment strategies beyond the synapse
Abstract Epilepsy is a heterogeneous neurological disorder affecting more than 70 million people worldwide, posing significant challenges for clinicians due to its complex etiology, diverse manifestations, variable treatment responses, and the inability to predict seizures or disease onset reliably.

Hippocampal network activity changes during early epileptogenesis predict subsequent epilepsy
Abstract Objective Despite decades of research, the circuit mechanisms that underlie focal epileptogenesis remain incompletely understood. In this study, we aimed to characterize the changes in hippocampal network activity induced by an epileptogenic insult.

Ventral anterior thalamic dysfunction distinguishes seizure generalization in temporal lobe epilepsy
Abstract Objective Focal‐to‐bilateral tonic–clonic seizures (FBTCS) in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) involve thalamocortical networks, yet the functional integrity and role of specific thalamic subregions in seizure generalization remain unclear. In this cross‐sectional study, we investigated whether thalamic subregion functional connectivity patterns ...

Abstract Objective To determine whether postoperative reduction of anti‐seizure medication (ASM) burden is associated with cognitive improvement after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) in seizure‐free patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data for adult patients with drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy who underwent unilateral ATL between ...

Characterizing chapeau de gendarme in pediatric epilepsy through systematic video‐EEG evaluation
Abstract Objective Chapeau de gendarme (CdG) is a subtle but clinically relevant semiology that has been scarcely studied in children. Previous studies have primarily focused on its localizing value in small, surgical cohorts. This study aimed to systematically characterize frequency and clinical features of CdG across the pediatric age spectrum ...

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.
