The challenges in making animal models of complex human epilepsy phenotypes with
varied aetiology highlights the need to develop alternative disease models that can address …

The CLN3 gene was identified over two decades ago, but the primary function of the CLN3
protein remains unknown. Recessive inheritance of loss of function mutations in CLN3 are …

Epilepsy is among the most common neurological disorders, affecting approximately 50
