PURPOSE: The gut-brain axis has been discussed as a possible factor contributing to ictogenesis and epilepsy. While recent preclinical studies have proposed a link between the antiseizure effect of a ketogenic diet (KD) and alterations to the gut microbiota, there is a knowledge gap about microbial composition as a result of Scn1a genetic deficiency and how this is affected by KD in Dravet syndrome. METHODS: A...
