Functional rather than anatomic connectivity predicts seizure propagation in a multi-node model of focal neocortical epilepsy

James E. Niemeyer, Fengrui Zhan, Carmen Pons, Theodore H. Schwartz

This study shows that functional connectivity, not anatomical connections, determines seizure spread in a rodent epilepsy model and highlights how stimulation parameters affect neural recruitment.

Interneuron FGF13 regulates seizure susceptibility via a sodium channel-independent mechanism

Susan Lin, Aravind R. Gade, Hong-Gang Wang, James E. Niemeyer, Allison Galante, Isabella A. DiStefano, Patrick Towers, Jorge Nunez, Maiko Matsui, Theodore H. Schwartz, Anjali M. Rajadhyaksha, Geoffrey S. Pitt

This study identifies FGF13's role in seizure susceptibility through interneuron-specific knockout mice, revealing a sodium channel-independent mechanism involving K+ channel regulation.

Seizures initiate in zones of relative hyperexcitation in a zebrafish epilepsy model

James E. Niemeyer, Poornima Gadamsetty, Chanwoo Chun, Sherika Sylvester, Jacob Lucas, Hongtao Ma, Theodore H. Schwartz, Emre R. F. Aksay

The paper identifies seizure initiation zones in a zebrafish model, showing hyperexcitation in excitatory neurons precedes seizure propagation.
