Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations in STX1B encoding the presynaptic protein syntaxin-1B are associated with febrile seizures with or without epilepsy. It is unclear to what extent these mutations are linked to abnormalities of cortical glutamatergic or GABAergic neurotransmission. We explored this question using single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) excitability markers. METHODS: We studied nine...
