New research points to a genetic route to understanding and treating epilepsy. The research has identified an ancient gene family that plays a role in regulating the excitability of nerves within the ...
We found the voltage-gated K + channel Kv12.2 to be a potent regulator of excitability in hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Genetic deletion and pharmacologic block of Kv12.2 substantially reduced the ...
An ancient gene family that plays a pivotal role in regulating the excitability of nerves within the brain has been identified by an American biologist. The discovery points to a genetic route to ...

In what may pave the way for an effective treatment for epilepsy, scientists claim to have identified an ancient gene family which is linked to epileptic seizures. A team, led by Timothy Jegla of Penn ...
