Cerebral cortical dysplasia
MONDO:0017094Abnormalities in the development of the cerebral cortex. These include malformations arising from abnormal neuronal and glial cell proliferation or apoptosis (Group I); abnormal neuronal migration (Group ii); and abnormal establishment of cortical organization (Group iii). Many inborn metabolic brain disorders affecting cns formation are often associated with cortical malformations. They are common causes of epilepsy and developmental delay.

Hunting for hidden genetic triggers of severe childhood epilepsy
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study aims to find genetic mutations in the brain that cause drug-resistant epilepsy in children. Researchers will compare DNA from blood and brain tissue, including samples from special electrodes placed in the brain. The goal is to better understand the root causes of thes…
