Did you know that people with #epilepsy have a significantly reduced life expectancy and an increased burden of age-related comorbidities? Our new study „Time flies faster in epilepsy“ lnkd.in/d28QCtMS looks into how biological aging contributes to the disease.

Today is #WorldBrainDay, a global campaign promoting brain health for all ages.
At UCL, we're spotlighting some of the groundbreaking research that's shaping the future of brain health and wellbeing. 🧵

2/ Prof Gabriele Lignani of @lignanilab.bsky.social is leading an international team of researchers to develop a new generation of cell-state gene therapies for neuropsychiatric disorders.

Very excited to share my (first 😁) first-author preprint from my PhD work with @lignanilab.bsky.social 🎉
We uncovered an unexpected role for Nav1.1 in early cortical development, notably in the regulation of the cell cycle in cortical progenitors.

Thrilled to share that our latest work on #DravetSyndrome is now out as a preprint! 🚀
This project, brilliantly led by @clarazourray.bsky.social and co-supervised by Serena Barral, brought together an incredible team.
A huge thanks to everyone involved, exciting science ahead! 👏
