The Neurohospitalist, 2021 We present a case of a healthy 62-year-old woman who developed recurrent seizures preceded by subacute cognitive slowing, ataxia, night sweats, and weight loss. She was found to have cytopenias, multifocal T2/FLAIR hyperintensities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic susceptibility artifact lesions on susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI)

Connexin36 knockout mice display increased sensitivity to pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure-like behaviors [PDF]
, 2010 Large-scale synchronous firing of neurons during seizures is modulated by electrotonic coupling between neurons via gap junctions. To explore roles for connexin36 (Cx36) gap junctions in seizures, we examined the seizure threshold of connexin36 knockout (

The importance of early immunotherapy in patients with faciobrachial dystonic seizures
Brain : a journal of neurology, 2017 Faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS) are the first adult-onset autoantibody-mediated epilepsy. Thompson et al. describe 103 patients with FBDS, and show that seizures are responsive to immunotherapy, with early seizure cessation reducing long-term ...

Linkage Evidence for a Two-Locus Inheritance of LQT-Associated Seizures in a Multigenerational LQT Family With a Novel KCNQ1 Loss-of-Function Mutation [PDF]
, 2019 Mutations in several genes encoding ion channels can cause the long-QT (LQT) syndrome with cardiac arrhythmias, syncope and sudden death. Recently, mutations in some of these genes were also identified to cause epileptic seizures in these patients, and
