Parvalbumin interneuron impairment causes synaptic transmission deficits and seizures in SCN8A developmental and epileptic encephalopathy
22 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
SCN8A developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) is a severe epilepsy syndrome resulting from mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.6, encoded by the gene SCN8A. Nav1.6 is expressed in excitatory and inhibitory neurons, yet previous studies primarily focus on how SCN8A mutations affect excitatory neurons, with limited studies on the importance of inhibitory interneurons. Parvalbumin (PV)...
