Cannabidiol attenuates epileptic phenotype and increases survival in a mouse model of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy type 1

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy type 1 (DEE1) is a rare drug‐resistant pediatric epilepsy caused by trinucleotide repeat expansions in the X‐linked ARX gene, leading to elongation of the first polyalanine tract. It presents with early onset tonic seizures or spasms, developmental and cognition delay, and high risk of ...

WONOEP XVII appraisal: Targeting network excitability beyond the synapse ‐Neurotransmitter, ionic, and electro ‐diffusions

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide, and although medications are effective in the majority of cases, seizures persist in approximately 30% of patients. Despite the effort to develop new antiseizure drugs, the rate of pharmacoresistance in patients has not diminished over the past 3 decades. There is thus a real unmet

Absence seizures and sleep–wake abnormalities in a rat model of GRIN2B neurodevelopmental disorder

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pathogenic mutations in GRIN2B are an important cause of severe neurodevelopmental disorders resulting in epilepsy, autism, and intellectual disability. GRIN2B encodes the GluN2B subunit of N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate receptors (NMDARs), which are ionotropic glutamate receptors critical for normal development of the nervous system and ...

Deciphering SCN2A: A comprehensive review of rodent models of Scn2a dysfunction

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract SCN2A encodes for the alpha subunit of the voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.2, which is involved in action potential initiation and backpropagation in excitatory neurons. Currently, it is one of the highest monogenetic risk factors for both epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder.

Synaptic ultrastructural alterations in human focal cortical dysplasia: Insights from volume electron microscopy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a developmental malformation of the cerebral cortex and a leading cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy in children and young adults. Disruption of the excitation–inhibition (E–I) balance is a hallmark of neuronal hyperexcitability in FCD, yet the underlying synaptic ultrastructural changes remain poorly ...
