📢 Paper out! Focal Cortical Dysplasia-linked epilepsy is more complex than expected - somatic mTOR-activating mutations affect multiple cell lineages, yet only a fraction become cytomegalic. Dysmorphic neurons show mitochondrial dysfunction. #Epilepsy #BrainMosaicism #Neurodevelopment

Child neurologist Matthias De Wachter 🤩 and I are chatting on the podcast 🎙️ re the often-overlooked aspects of #epilepsy 😮!
We explore:
🔹 Symptoms beyond seizures
🔹 Lifestyle impacts
🔹 Paediatric to adult care
🔹 Drug repurposing
🔹 Research on rare epilepsies
