The role of microglia and the microglial mTOR signaling network in epilepsy has recently garnered significant attention (Nonoda et al., 2009; Sierra et al., 2010; Abraham et al., 2012; Sosunov et al., 2012; Brewster et al., 2013; Eyo et al., 2014; Nguyen et al., 2015; Abiega et al., 2016; van Vliet et al., 2016; Wyatt-Johnson et al., 2017; Schartz et al., 2018; Zhao et al., 2018; Mo et al., 2019). The gene discussed is MTOR; the disease is epilepsy.
