Gamma suppression correlates with thalamic stimulation therapeutic response in intractable epilepsy
Epilepsia, EarlyView.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.

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are associated with high premature mortality and increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). However, epidemiological data remain limited, particularly for specific syndromes such as Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), and infantile epileptic ...

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

Neonatal seizures: Advances in diagnosis and management
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) created the ILAE Neonatal Task Force that classified neonatal seizures, defined neonatal epilepsy syndromes, and specified treatment guidelines. These frameworks, in addition to improved access to genetic testing and other recent advances, have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of ...

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective The presence or absence of sleep spindles in patients with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) has been proposed as a potential predictor of cognitive outcome; however, the validity of this predictor remains uncertain.

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Focal cortical dysplasia type 1 (FCD1) is a rare and heterogeneous cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) in children. Its clinical characteristics remain poorly understood, and surgical outcomes may be less favorable than in FCD2. We conducted a population‐based study to characterize the clinical presentation and long‐term seizure ...
