Summary

This study looks at autoimmune encephalitis, a condition where the immune system attacks the brain, causing rapid confusion and dysfunction. Researchers want to understand why some patients have known antibodies while others test negative, and they aim to discover new antibodies using advanced cell technology. The study involves 20 adults with specific types of autoimmune encephalitis or Susac syndrome, plus a control group. No new treatments are being tested; the goal is to learn more about the disease.
