Optogenetic and potassium channel gene therapy in a rodent model of focal neocortical epilepsy
Neocortical epilepsy is frequently drug-resistant. Surgery to remove the epileptogenic zone
is only feasible in a minority of cases, leaving many patients without an effective treatment. …

Epilepsy gene therapy using an engineered potassium channel
Refractory focal epilepsy is a devastating disease for which there is frequently no effective
treatment. Gene therapy represents a promising alternative, but treating epilepsy in this way …

Gene therapy in epilepsy—is it time for clinical trials?
Epilepsy represents a major burden to society, not least because approximately 25% of
patients do not respond satisfactorily to antiepileptic medication, and only a minority with …
