Summary
This study uses PET and MRI scans to look at serotonin pathways in the brainstem of adults with Dravet syndrome, a severe epilepsy. Researchers want to see if these pathways are different in Dravet patients compared to those with other drug-resistant epilepsy and healthy people. The goal is to better understand why Dravet syndrome carries a high risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). The study involves 30 participants: 10 with Dravet, 10 with focal epilepsy, and 10 healthy volunteers.
