New developments in understanding focal cortical malformations.

Current opinion in neurology - 1 Apr 2018

Becker Albert J, Beck Heinz

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) represent common cortical malformations that are frequently associated with epilepsy. They have so far not been well understood in terms of their molecular pathogenesis, and with respect to mechanisms of seizure emergence. RECENT FINDINGS: Several recent studies have succeeded in making significant advances in understanding the molecular genetics, in particular...
