The Excitatory/Inhibitory Balance of Synaptic Transmission Is Impaired at Higher Extracellular Ca2+ Concentrations in Scn1a+/− Mouse Model of Dravet Syndrome
2021-03-05
Abstract excerpt
Dravet syndrome (DS) is an intractable form of childhood epilepsy that occurs in infancy. More than 80% of all patients have a heterozygous abnormality in the SCN1A gene, which encodes a subunit of Na + channels in the brain. However, the detailed pathogenesis of DS remains unclear. This study investigated the synaptic pathogenesis of this disease in terms of excitatory/inhibitory balance using a mouse model of DS...
