KCNJ4 variants disrupt inward‐rectifier potassium channel function and cause refractory epilepsy
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder with a strong genetic basis, most frequently arising from ion channel dysfunction. Although multiple inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels have been implicated in epileptogenesis, the contribution of KCNJ4, which encodes the Kir2.3 channel, has not previously been established in human

Women with epilepsy: Evidence‐based counseling across the lifespan
Abstract Women with epilepsy (WWE) encounter distinct and evolving challenges across the lifespan that require clinical management extending beyond seizure control alone. Although awareness of sex‐specific aspects of epilepsy has increased, important gaps remain in their integration into routine care.

Abstract Objective Most antiseizure medications (ASMs) have been discovered by testing in animal models, which are generally thought to predict antiseizure activity in patients. However, it is not known whether any of these models (or a combination of models) can predict whether a novel ASM exhibits higher clinical efficacy in focal drug‐resistant ...

Soticlestat as adjunctive therapy for Lennox–Gastaut syndrome. Abstract Objective There remains a need for new treatments for Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with a heterogenous patient population that often requires polytherapy. The phase 3, randomized SKYWAY study (NCT04938427) investigated the efficacy and

Mental health of children with epilepsy in Ukraine during the war
Abstract Objective The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has created a severe humanitarian crisis, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations such as children with chronic conditions. We set out to determine information about mental health in children with epilepsy in Ukraine affected by the conflict.

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.
