A Practical Guide to Focal Cortical Displays in Neurology

A team of top authors from Italy and London has written a practical guide for neurologists on focal cortical displays. The paper includes important details on definition, classification, and management. The classification may be challenging to understand, with different types and subtypes. The genetics involve somatic activating mutations of mTOR and inactivating mutations of repressor. The knowledge of the mTOR pathway opens up potential treatment options using drugs like everolimus or the ketogenic diet. The paper does not discuss the role of 70 MRI in identifying people with focal epilepsy, but it is a valuable resource for neurologists.
