Deep whole genome sequencing of epileptogenic brain lesions
Abstract Objective Malformations of cortical development and low‐grade epilepsy‐associated tumors often cause drug‐resistant lesional focal epilepsy (LFE) amenable to surgical treatment. Genetic testing of resected brain tissue can provide diagnostic and mechanistic information and may eventually support personalized treatment approaches.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals distinct expression patterns in focal cortical dysplasia
Abstract Objective Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a common cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy in children and adults and exhibits substantial clinical and histopathological heterogeneity. However, morphological classification alone does not fully explain variability in epileptogenicity, disease severity, or treatment response.

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Abstract Objective Genetic epilepsies in childhood are highly heterogeneous, and approaches to identify shared biological mechanisms across distinct genetic etiologies remain limited. We aimed to investigate whether genes associated with pediatric genetic epilepsies in our heterogeneous cohort converge on common functional pathways.
