Convulsive seizures from experimental focal cortical dysplasia occur independently of cell misplacement
The etiology of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is not fully understood. Here authors generate an mTORC1 overactivation mouse model that recapitulates hallmarks of type II FCDs, including spontaneous seizures, and suggest that neuronal defects, rather than macrostructural changes, lead to seizures.
