Theory of mind: A cognitive endophenotype of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy?
Abstract Objective Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), the most common idiopathic generalized epilepsy, is associated with neuropsychological and psychiatric comorbidities, including social cognition and theory of mind (ToM) deficits. The interplay between clinical features, social cognition, and their neural and genetic substrates remains poorly ...

Transcriptomic analysis reveals distinct expression patterns in focal cortical dysplasia
Abstract Objective Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a common cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy in children and adults and exhibits substantial clinical and histopathological heterogeneity. However, morphological classification alone does not fully explain variability in epileptogenicity, disease severity, or treatment response.

Severe skeletal fragility in SCN8A‐related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy
Abstract In this child with a phenotype compatible with the SCN8A gain‐of‐function spectrum, more than 20 bone fractures were documented. Together with previously reported cases, these observations raise the possibility that skeletal fragility may represent an underrecognized feature of the clinical spectrum associated with pathogenic SCN8A variants ...

Abstract Objective Magnetoencephalography (MEG) language mapping in pediatric epilepsy frequently requires sedation, which may alter cortical physiology and compromise the reliability of language lateralization. We hypothesized that sedation disrupts coupling between early auditory processing and higher order language networks, reducing the ...

Validation of the diagnosis of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome: Challenges and lessons learned
Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy characterized by multiple seizure types, cognitive impairment, and distinct electroencephalographic (EEG) findings. However, evolving diagnostic criteria, heterogeneous clinical features, and inconsistent electronic health record (EHR) documentation ...
