Inhibitory synaptic transmission is impaired at higher extracellular Ca2+ concentrations in Scn1a +/− mouse model of Dravet syndrome
Abstract Dravet syndrome (DS) is an intractable form of childhood epilepsy that occurs in infancy. More than 80% of all patients have a heterozygous abnormality in the SCN1A gene, which encodes a subunit of Na+ channels in the brain. However, the detailed pathogenesis of DS remains unclear.
