Researchers are exploring how gene variants identified in children with severe epilepsy can have an impact on neurons, leading to abnormal electrical activity in the brain and recurrent seizures.
Join us on March 13, 2023 at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute from 5 to 7:30PM for Brain School: The Electric Brain. https://fbri.vtc.vt.edu/events/annual-brain-school.html
The Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC recently recruited neuroscientist Matthew Weston to investigate childhood epilepsy, particularly how specific genetic variants that cause the disorder regulate brain activity.
