Astrocyte Ca <sup>2+</sup> Signaling is Facilitated in an <i> Scn1a <sup>+/−</sup> </i> Mouse Model of Dravet Syndrome
2021-05-18
Abstract excerpt
Dravet syndrome (DS) is an infantile-onset epileptic encephalopathy. More than 80% of DS patients have a heterozygous mutation in SCN1A , which encodes a subunit of the voltage-gated sodium channel, Nav 1.1 , in neurons. The roles played by astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell type in the brain, have been investigated in the pathogenesis of epilepsy; however, the specific involvement of astrocytes in DS has...
