Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied how a gene called NEUROD2 affects brain development in mice and found that when this gene is missing, brain cells don't develop properly.
  • Mice without NEUROD2 showed issues like being overly active, having trouble interacting with others, and even having seizures.
  • The study also linked problems in these mice to human cases of developmental disorders, like autism, suggesting that NEUROD2 is important for normal brain function and development.

Purpose: To determine whether awake EEG criteria can differentiate epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike and waves during sleep (EE-CSWS) at the time of cognitive regression from typical, self-limited focal epilepsy (SFE).

Methods: This retrospective case-control study was based on the analysis of awake EEGs and included 15 patients with EE-CSWS and 15 age-matched and sex-matched patients with typical SFE. The EEGs were anonymised and scored by four independent readers.
