Can we target the drivers of genetic epilepsy?
Our new preprint shows RAPTOR-targeting ASOs reduce pathological mTORC1 activity, normalize neuronal hyperexcitability, and significantly extend survival in GATOR1-deficient mice. https://t.co/6jr9wLc2cd

Grâce à une subvention Futurs leaders de la Fondation familiale Arrell, Paul A. Dutchak explore le lien entre la nutrition et les voies cérébrales. Cette recherche sur l'épilepsie et l'autisme vise à développer des stratégies nutritionnelles pour réduire les crises.
Congrats to all those involved in our dissection of epilepsy-linked mutations in GATOR1 and their influence on canonical PI3K:mTORC1 function! Stepping through the web of cell signaling to understand disease. #CERVO_ULaval#Universitelaval#neuroscience

Happy National Epilepsy Day to our friends in India 🇮🇳!
DYKT that conservative estimations suggest that there are over 12 MILLION people with epilepsy in India? #EpilepsyAwareness#EpilepsyAwarenessMonth#NEAM
Structural changes in motor neurons expressing FUSR521G precede motor impairment and other pathological features of ALS. Well done Mari @mcpelaez_ @silviapozzi81@DutchakLab and colleagues!
