4E-BP1 expression in embryonic postmitotic neurons mitigates mTORC1-induced cortical malformations and behavioral seizure severity but does not prevent epilepsy in mice
Hyperactivation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway during neurodevelopment leads to focal cortical malformations associated with intractable seizures.Recent evidence suggests that dysregulated cap-dependent translation downstream of mTORC1 contributes to cytoarchitectural abnormalities and seizure activity.Here, we ex
