Diagnosis and treatment of occipital brain lesions in children
Occipital brain lesions in children represent a diagnostic challenge due to the large spectrum of etiologies and overlapping clinical features. This review analyses common and less common causes of occipital brain lesions in children, including malformative, vascular, genetic/metabolic, infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions.

Human cortical malformations are associated with progenitor proliferation and neuronal migration abnormalities. Basal radial glia (bRGs), a type of progenitor cells, are limited in lissencephalic species (e.g.

Malformations of cortical development: Embryology and epilepsy
Abstract One in seven patients with focal epilepsy has a malformation of cortical development (MCD) as underlying cause. Understanding normal cortical development combined with knowledge of where, when, and what goes wrong in different types of MCD provides insight into the mechanisms of epileptogenesis.

LIS1 promotes the formation of activated cytoplasmic dynein-1 complexes [PDF]
Cytoplasmic dynein-1 is a molecular motor that drives nearly all minus-end-directed microtubule-based transport in human cells, performing functions that range from retrograde axonal transport to mitotic spindle assembly1,2.

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 ...

A Cdk5-Dependent Switch Regulates Lis1/Ndel1/Dynein-Driven Organelle Transport in Adult Axons
Lissencephaly is a human developmental brain abnormality caused by LIS1 haploinsufficiency. This disorder is in large part attributed to altered mitosis and migration in the developing brain.

Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS) is caused by a heterozygous deletion of chromosome 17p13.3 involving the genes LIS1 and YWHAE (coding for 14.3.3ε) and leads to malformations during cortical development.

Lis1 finds new digs on the desmosome [PDF]
![Figure][1] The centrosomal protein Lis1 (green) localizes to the cortex of differentiated epithelial cells. A protein that stabilizes microtubules also helps maintain desmosomes, [Sumigray et al.][2] report.

Lis1 is required for nuclear migration in fungi, cell cycle progression in mammals, and the formation of a folded cerebral cortex in humans. Lis1 binds dynactin and the dynein motor complex, but the role of Lis1 in many dynein/dynactin-dependent ...

Regulation of cytoplasmic dynein by LIS1 [PDF]
Cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein) is a microtubule-based motor protein that plays a central role in organizing the contents of the cell during both interphase and cell division.
