Indeed, the CST waveform was reminiscent of the spike-wave discharges that are the hallmark of absence seizures (Papale et al., 2009; Pfammatter et al., 2019; Sadleir et al., 2006), yet also strikingly resembled the seizures observed in Scn8a mutant mice (Wagnon et al., 2015). Here, SCN8A is linked to juvenile absence epilepsy.
