This study investigates how mutations in mTOR pathway genes affect cortical neuron development and function, finding shared and distinct impacts on synaptic activity.

This study shows that increasing 4E-BP1 activity in juvenile mice with FMCD reduces neuronal dysfunction and seizures by correcting electrophysiological and structural abnormalities.

The paper identifies ectopic HCN4 expression in FCM neurons as a cAMP-dependent seizure mechanism in TSC and FCDII, suggesting HCN4 as a gene therapy target for epilepsy.
