Neonatal developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with movement disorder and arthrogryposis: A shared phenotype across brain‐expressed sodium channelopathies

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Neonatal developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with movement disorder and arthrogryposis (NDEEMA) represents the most severe end of the gain‐of‐function (GOF) SCN1A disorder spectrum. Sporadic cases of congenital arthrogryposis have also been reported in individuals with SCN2A‐, SCN3A‐, and SCN8A‐related developmental and ...

Biofluid‐specific variations in circulating 5′ transfer RNA fragments during ictal and interictal states in experimental temporal lobe epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Circulating small noncoding RNAs represent potential biomarkers of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Recently, two transfer RNA fragments (tRFs), 5′tRF Glu‐CTC and Gly‐GCC, were found to be elevated in plasma samples collected in advance of a seizure in TLE patients, suggesting they may serve as potential wet biomarkers of seizure risk ...

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.

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

open access: yesEpilepsia 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 ...

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.
