In a retrospective study, Eriksson et al. show that epilepsy surgery was able to halt and even reverse a decline in neuropsychological functioning in certain children by providing seizure freedom and the opportunity to discontinue antiseizure medication. tinyurl.com/2s3wu9u6

ICNA's upcoming ICNTN Grand Rounds on "Cortical Malformations in the Genomic Era" on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at 09:00 AM Eastern Time ( US/ Canada ) by Dr. Asthik Biswas, MBBS DNB, Consultant Paediatric Neuroradiologist, London. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

As part of our 2024 Research Awards, we are delighted to co-fund two Fellowships with Dravet Syndrome UK to develop future leaders investigating #Dravet Syndrome and #epilepsy. Read about the exciting projects and watch films with both researchers here: epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/news/epile…

We're also thrilled to announce Dr Jenna Carpenter as Epilepsy Research Institute & Dravet Syndrome UK Joint Fellow. Her research will enhance our understanding of how the SCN1A gene causes #Dravet. If successful, the project may lead to a new treatment for Dravet Syndrome & other genetic epilepsies👇

Cells located in the midline of the embryo play crucial roles in development. These cells often influence cell fate decisions and guide axons to establish bilateral connections. Despite their importance, studying these transient cells and their complex interactions has been

Our NEW Primer on Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies is live today! By Prof Ingrid Scheffer , Sameer M Zuberi , Dr. Heather Mefford, Renzo Guerrini and May McTague. Check it out here: go.nature.com/3TgZ0ck

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies nature.com/articles/s4157…

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies usually begin in infancy or childhood and are characterized by seizures and developmental slowing or regression; the developmental impairment is caused by both the epileptic and the developmental encephalopathy.
