Abstract excerpt
Dietary modifications often have a profound impact on the penetrance and expressivity of neurological phenotypes that are caused by genetic defects. Our previous studies in Drosophila melanogaster revealed that seizure-like phenotypes of gain-of-function voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel mutants (paraShu, parabss1, and paraGEFS+), as well as other seizure-prone "bang-sensitive" mutants (eas and sda), were...
