A DELETERIOUS NAV1.1 MUTATION SELECTIVELY IMPAIRS TELENCEPHALIC INHIBITORY NEURONS DERIVED FROM DRAVET SYNDROME PATIENTS

A deleterious Nav1.1 mutation selectively impairs telencephalic inhibitory neurons derived from Dravet Syndrome patients

Dravet Syndrome is an intractable form of childhood epilepsy associated with deleterious mutations in SCN1A, the gene encoding neuronal sodium channel Nav1.1.Earlier studies using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have produced mixed results regarding the importance of Nav1.1 in human inhibitory versus excitatory neurons.We studied a Nav

The impact of future changes in climate variables and groundwater abstraction on basin-scale groundwater availability

Groundwater is under pressure from a changing climate and increasing anthropogenic demands.In this study, we project the effect of these two processes onto future groundwater status.Climate projections of Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 (RCP4.5) and Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Pr
