VIB Oct 31 2025 Researchers at the VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology have visualized how brain network development is altered in a model of KCNQ2-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, a rare childhood brain disorder. Using longitudinal imaging techniques, the team observed differences in how brain regions communicate and connect, long before behavioral symptoms appear. KCNQ2-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (KCNQ2-DEE) is a rare but severe neurological
