Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

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.

Rest‐activity rhythm phenotypes in adults with epilepsy and intellectual disability

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Rest‐activity rhythms (RARs) are perturbed in many forms of neuropsychiatric illness. In this study, we applied wrist actigraphy to describe RAR perturbations in intellectually disabled adults with epilepsy (“E + ID”), using a cross‐sectional case–control design.

Is highly purified cannabidiol a treatment opportunity for drug‐resistant epilepsy in subjects with typical Rett syndrome and CDKL5 deficiency disorder?

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive, highly purified Cannabidiol (Epidiolex®) in individuals with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) due to genetically determined typical Rett Syndrome (RTT) and CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD). Methods We recruited subjects with genetically confirmed typical RTT and CDD with

Aetiopathogenesis of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome and mechanisms of action of adrenocorticotrophin hormone/corticosteroids in children: A scoping review

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Why does infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) occur with a variety of underlying conditions and why does it respond to adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH)/corticosteroids? Our scoping review summarizes five hypotheses from the literature: gene/epigenetic regulation, stress/HPA axis activation, neuroinflammation/immune function, altered neuronal ...

Rare dysfunctional SCN2A variants are associated with malformation of cortical development

Epilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 914-928, March 2025.
Abstract Objective SCN2A encodes the voltage‐gated sodium (Na+) channel α subunit NaV1.2, which is important for the generation and forward and back propagation of action potentials in neurons. Genetic variants in SCN2A are associated with a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders.
