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 ...

Differentiating Myoclonus from Tics
A Myoclonus Versus Tic Checklist facilitates making this vexing differential diagnosis. Although it appears to be a valuable tool for clinical, educational, and research purposes, psychometric characterization of the Myoclonus Versus Tic Checklist is ...

Abstract Objective Diagnostic and treatment delays in infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) increase the risk of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. Early clinical recognition of IESS is essential, especially in regions lacking expedited access to electroencephalograms (EEG).

Novel mutations consolidate KCTD7 as a progressive myoclonus epilepsy gene
The progressive myoclonus epilepsies (PMEs) comprise a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterised by myoclonus, epilepsy, and neurological deterioration.

Movement Disorders Associated with 22q11.2 Microdeletion: A Scoping Review
Abstract Background Movement disorders have recently emerged as important neurologic manifestations of the 22q11.2 microdeletion that affects nearly one in every 2000 live births. Objective We aimed to map the existing evidence regarding the spectrum, diagnosis and treatment, and etiopathogenesis of movement disorders associated with 22q11.2 ...

ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

The myoclonus in corticobasal degeneration. Evidence for two forms of cortical reflex myoclonus.
The clinical and physiological characteristics of myoclonus in 14 patients with corticobasal degeneration are described. The myoclonus was focal, confined to one limb (usually the arm) and was most prominent on voluntary action or in response to sensory ...

Convergence Deficits in Myoclonus‐Dystonia Point to Cerebellar Impairment
Abstract Background Myoclonus‐dystonia (M‐D) is a monogenic movement disorder, with proposed cerebellar dysfunction. Vergence eye movement deficits, characteristics of degenerative cerebellar disease, have not been studied in M‐D. Cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is considered a potential therapeutic approach.
