Did you know that people with #epilepsy have a significantly reduced life expectancy and an increased burden of age-related comorbidities? Our new study „Time flies faster in epilepsy“ lnkd.in/d28QCtMS looks into how biological aging contributes to the disease.

Very excited to share my (first 😁) first-author preprint from my PhD work with @lignanilab.bsky.social 🎉
We uncovered an unexpected role for Nav1.1 in early cortical development, notably in the regulation of the cell cycle in cortical progenitors.
