In the following sections, we discuss some of the molecular signaling and pathways most relevant for seizures in SSADHD. These molecular changes observable in the disease animal model are the first set of metrics to test safety and efficacy of SSADH-targeted medicine. 3. GABA, Chloride Homeostasi...

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a novel non-invasive brain stimulation technique considered as a potential supplementary treatment option for subjects with refractory epilepsy. Its exact mechanism of action is not yet fully un
Epilepsy Epilepsy is a medical disqualification under FMCSA regulations. However, drivers can apply for an exemption for this condition. The driver must demonstrate that their seizures are well maintained and under control to qualify for an exemption. Similarly, those with conditions like vertigo and ...
