Efficacy and tolerability of perampanel as add‐on therapy in Dravet syndrome: A prospective real‐world study

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To investigate the efficacy and tolerability of perampanel (PER) on Dravet syndrome in China by a prospective real‐world study. Methods We prospectively enrolled children with Dravet syndrome from the neurology clinic of Shenzhen Children's Hospital from September 2020 to October 2021.

Aetiopathogenesis of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome and mechanisms of action of adrenocorticotrophin hormone/corticosteroids in children: A scoping review

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Why does infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) occur with a variety of underlying conditions and why does it respond to adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH)/corticosteroids? Our scoping review summarizes five hypotheses from the literature: gene/epigenetic regulation, stress/HPA axis activation, neuroinflammation/immune function, altered neuronal ...

De Novo Mutations in SLC1A2 and CACNA1A Are Important Causes of Epileptic Encephalopathies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Epileptic encephalopathies (EEs) are the most clinically important group of severe early-onset epilepsies. Next-generation sequencing has highlighted the crucial contribution of de novo mutations to the genetic architecture of EEs as well as to their ...

Rare dysfunctional SCN2A variants are associated with malformation of cortical development

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 914-928, March 2025.
Abstract Objective SCN2A encodes the voltage‐gated sodium (Na+) channel α subunit NaV1.2, which is important for the generation and forward and back propagation of action potentials in neurons. Genetic variants in SCN2A are associated with a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Intersection of epilepsy and cardiac health: Insights from electrocardiography and syndromic associations

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition marked by recurrent, uncontrolled seizures. Identifying comorbidities in epilepsy is critical for preventing mortality. Among these, the autonomic nervous system's role in epilepsy often manifests as cardiac disorders. Patients with epilepsy (PWE), particularly those with poorly controlled seizures,

Neuronal oscillatory imbalances in GNAO1‐related disorders associated with disease severity

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study investigates excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) imbalances in GNAO1‐related disorders (GNAO1‐RD), linking neuronal dysfunction to clinical severity using E/I‐sensitive electroencephalography (EEG) analyses. Methods We conducted an observational study involving 12 children with GNAO1‐RD caused by pathogenic variants and 36 age ...

Significance of High-frequency Electrical Brain Activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
 Electroencephalogram (EEG) data include broadband electrical brain activity ranging from infra-slow bands (200 / 250 Hz, respectively) are particularly of note due to their very close relationship to epileptogenicity, with the possibility that they ...

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 ...

Confirmation of infantile spasms resolution by prolonged outpatient EEGs

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, 2021
Objective There is no consensus on the type or duration of the posttreatment EEG needed for assessing treatment response for infantile spasms (IS). We assessed whether outpatient electroencephalograms (EEGs) are sufficient to confirm infantile spasms (IS)
