A developmental and genetic classification for malformations of cortical development: update 2012. [PDF]
Malformations of cerebral cortical development include a wide range of developmental disorders that are common causes of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. In addition, study of these disorders contributes greatly to the understanding of normal brain

External validation of automated focal cortical dysplasia detection using morphometric analysis
Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) are a common cause of drug‐resistant focal epilepsy but frequently remain undetected by conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment.

Role of fetal MRI in the evaluation of isolated and non-isolated corpus callosum dysgenesis: results of a cross-sectional study [PDF]
PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to characterize isolated and non-isolated forms of corpus callosum dysgenesis (CCD) at fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to identify early predictors of associated anomalies.

Reduced neurosteroid potentiation of GABAA receptors in epilepsy and depolarized hippocampal neurons [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Neurosteroids regulate neuronal excitability by potentiating γ-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABARs). In animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy, the neurosteroid sensitivity of GABARs is diminished and GABAR subunit composition is ...

Atlas of lesion locations and postsurgical seizure freedom in focal cortical dysplasia: A MELD study
Drug‐resistant focal epilepsy is often caused by focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs). The distribution of these lesions across the cerebral cortex and the impact of lesion location on clinical presentation and surgical outcome are largely unknown.

Detection superiority of 7 T MRI protocol in patients with epilepsy and suspected focal cortical dysplasia [PDF]
In 11 adult patients with suspicion of Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) on 1.5 T (n = 1) or 3 T (n = 10) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 7 T MRI was performed.

Language lateralization mapping (reversibly) masked by non-dominant focal epilepsy: a case report
Language lateralization in patients with focal epilepsy frequently diverges from the left-lateralized pattern that prevails in healthy right-handed people, but the mechanistic explanations are still a matter of debate.

Background and Objectives Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is the most common cause of surgically remediable epilepsy in children. Little is known about the risk factors for the timing and development of pharmacoresistance in this population.

Loss of Wdfy3 in mice alters cerebral cortical neurogenesis reflecting aspects of the autism pathology. [PDF]
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are complex and heterogeneous developmental disabilities affecting an ever-increasing number of children worldwide. The diverse manifestations and complex, largely genetic aetiology of ASDs pose a major challenge to the ...

Cortical dysplasia or focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is one of the most common causes of seizures and childhood epilepsy. It is one of some malformation types of cortical development. By using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or another radiographic modality, it is not easy to detect its abnormalities.
