TL;DR: The role of DEPDC5 is extended to focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) in familial focal epilepsies by extending the role of mTORC1 repressor toDEP domain‐containing protein 5.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SYN1 is a novel predisposing gene to ASDs, in addition to epilepsy, and the hypothesis that a disturbance of synaptic homeostasis underlies the pathogenesis of both diseases is strengthened.

TL;DR: This work reveals for the first time in humans a clear structural connectivity between the insula and the cingulate, parahippocampal, supramarginal and angular gyri as well as the precuneus and occipital regions.

TL;DR: Evidence suggesting that some epilepsy surgery failures could be related to unrecognized insular epilepsy have led us to lower the threshold to sample the insula with intracerebral electrodes, and the experience resulting from this change in strategy is reported.

TL;DR: There is potential for improvement and optimization in the seizure prediction framework, and new databases, higher sampling frequencies, adequate preprocessing, electrode selection, and machine-learning considerations are all elements of the prediction scheme that should be assessed to achieve more realistic, better-than-chance performances.
