  "summary": "Dravet syndrome is a severe childhood neurological disorder caused mostly due to mutations in the sodium channel gene SCN1A. Although the disorder is widely attributed to dysfunction of inhibitory neurons, growing evidence suggests that disease mechanisms may begin much earlier during brain development. To investigate the developmental consequences of SCN1A haploinsufficiency, we generated…",
