Metabolic flux from the Krebs cycle to glutamate transmission tunes a neural brake on seizure onset.
Kohlschütter-Tönz syndrome (KTS) manifests as neurological dysfunctions, including early-onset seizures. Mutations in the citrate transporter SLC13A5 are associated with KTS, yet their underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that a Drosophila SLC13A5 homolog, I'm not dead yet (Ind...

Kohlschütter-Tönz syndrome (KTS) manifests as neurological dysfunctions, including early-onset seizures.
