Abstract excerpt
Epilepsy is increasingly recognized as a disorder with prominent metabolic disturbances, but how defined epilepsy-causing mutations reshape metabolism under controlled genetic and environmental conditions remains poorly understood. Here, we used the Drosophila melanogaster gain-of-function voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) mutant paraShu, a well-established model of neuronal and behavioral hyperexcitability, to...
