Abstract The classification of the epilepsies has traditionally relied on clinical and electroencephalographic features. However, advancements in molecular genetics, neuroimaging, and our understanding of epilepsy pathophysiology necessitate a shift toward an etiology‐based approach.

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.

Scn1a‐mediated developmental regulation of prefrontal cortex plasticity and cognition
Abstract Objective The voltage‐gated sodium channel Nav1.1, encoded by Scn1a, is essential for γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic function, and its alteration is associated with neurological disorders such as Dravet syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. We previously demonstrated that local Nav1.1 dysfunction in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) during ...

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.

Kv3.1 activation suppresses provoked and spontaneous seizures in a mouse Dravet syndrome model
Abstract Objective γ‐Aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) parvalbumin‐positive (PV+) interneurons are critical for maintaining cortical inhibitory tone, with their dysfunction predictably leading to epilepsy. Rapid PV+ interneuron firing is essential for their normal function and is maintained in part by potassium voltage‐gated channels.
