Learn more about a new PCDH19 mouse model used to study sleep disturbances, brain hyperexcitability, and epilepsy-like activity, presented at the 2018 PCDH19 Epilepsy Professional and Family Symposium. This session explores how targeted loss of PCDH19 in a mosaic pattern disrupts slow-wave sleep, alters neuronal communication, and reveals clues about seizure propagation and cognitive effects.
