Mental health of children with epilepsy in Ukraine during the war

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
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.

Pediatric epilepsy surgery: Global survey of referral and presurgical evaluation practices

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pediatric epilepsy surgery is well established, but contemporary global data on referral and presurgical evaluation practices are lacking. This International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Task Force study provides an updated overview of current trends and regional differences. Methods Group‐level data were

Compensatory rearrangement of parvalbumin interneuron voltage‐gated sodium channel subunits in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
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 ...

Effectiveness and tolerability of fenfluramine in pediatric and adult patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: A multicenter, retrospective, real‐world clinical‐practice study

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are characterized by drug‐resistant seizures and developmental slowing/regression. We examined the efficacy and tolerability of fenfluramine (FFA) in pediatric and adult patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome (DS), and other DEEs.

Creativity and its link to epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Creative thinking represents one of our highest‐order cognitive processes, involving multiple cortical structures and an intricate interplay between several cortical and subcortical networks. It results in novel ideas that translate to useful products or concepts. The evolutionary purpose of creativity is therefore apparent, as it advances our

New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.

Novel planning pipeline utilizing the Surgical Theater system for pediatric epilepsy surgery

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Advances in the analysis and collation of radiographic datasets have enhanced presurgical planning for various neurosurgical procedures, including clipping of cerebral aneurysms, surgical resection of tumors, and arteriovenous malformation management.

Progressive myoclonus epilepsy in Down syndrome with Alzheimer's disease: An 11‐year longitudinal study and proposed diagnostic red flags

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) face an ultra‐high risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Within this continuum, Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy (PME) has emerged as a marker of advanced neurodegeneration. Building on our 2014 characterization of this syndrome, we aimed to define its long‐term natural history and pathological substrate.

Real‐world outcomes of responsive neurostimulation in patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome: A multicenter retrospective study

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) characterized by multiple seizure types and high resistance to antiseizure medication (ASM), often necessitating nonpharmacologic therapies, including neuromodulation.

Cannabidiol reduces atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms in a Gabrb3+/D120N mouse model of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a drug‐resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Preclinical drug development for LGS is constrained by a lack of syndrome‐relevant animal models. We aimed to evaluate a Gabrb3+/D120N knock‐in (KI) mouse model of LGS by quantifying atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms and ...
