Corticocortical evoked potential amplitude is altered by cortical stimulation in epilepsy
Abstract Objective Neurostimulation is an established therapy for drug‐resistant epilepsy, but optimizing stimulation parameters remains a major challenge. Corticocortical evoked potential (CCEP) amplitude may serve as an immediate biomarker of neurostimulation effects, enabling rapid parameter optimization.

Low diagnostic yield of presurgical genetic testing in adult patients with epilepsy
Abstract Objective To determine the diagnostic yield of genetic testing in patients undergoing presurgical evaluation for epilepsy. Methods We conducted a cohort study including 115 adult patients who underwent presurgical evaluation in the Calgary Epilepsy Program between 2019 and 2023 and who had undergone research exome sequencing.

Seizure relapse in new onset epilepsy: It is not always drug resistance
Abstract Objective Seizure recurrence in new onset epilepsy (NOE) can result from various factors. Although drug ineffectiveness is frequently investigated, other causes—such as nonadherence, inadequate treatment, nonepileptic events (e.g., functional/dissociative), or acute symptomatic seizures—also impact patient outcomes.

Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a highly heterogeneous neurological disorder with significant prognostic variability. Accurate long‐term outcome prediction remains a clinical challenge. We investigated pharmacotherapeutic prognosis and key predictors, particularly baseline seizure timing, to guide individualized treatment.

Abstract Objective The semisynthetic compound vinpocetine has gained attention as a potential precision medicine for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies caused by loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes. As a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, case reports suggest that vinpocetine can

Abstract Heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in the gene SCN1A, which encodes the voltage‐gated sodium channel (VGSC) pore‐forming (α) subunit NaV1.1, lead to a spectrum of neurological disease, including Dravet syndrome. NaV1.1 is prominently expressed at the proximal portion of the axon initial segment (AIS) of fast‐spiking γ‐aminobutyric ...

Gamma suppression correlates with thalamic stimulation therapeutic response in intractable epilepsy
Abstract Objective In patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy who undergo anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) deep brain stimulation (DBS), efficacy is assessed months after therapy initiation and clinicians have no guidance when choosing stimulation parameters due to the lack of real‐time biomarkers.
