Study Identifies Neuronal Basis of Impaired Consciousness in Absence Epilepsy
Using a genetic model known as Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats of Strasbourg (GAERS), Yale researchers have identified the neuronal basis for absence epilepsy. Their findings were published Jan. 10 in Nature Communications. During absence epilepsy episodes, children experience brief staring spells, during which they temporarily lose consciousness. Absence seizures can be captured by abnormal rhythms on EEG recordings, but their neuronal cause has never before been identified.
