Growth in Research on Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies
Source: Frontiers in neurology
Summary
This study looked at research on developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) and genes from 2001 to 2025. The researchers analyzed over 1,000 articles written by more than 8,000 authors from around the world. They used databases like Web of Science and PubMed to gather information and understand trends in this area of study.
The key findings showed that research on DEE and genes is growing quickly. The United States is leading in this research, with a notable contribution from the National Institute of Health and Medical Research. Topics that researchers are focusing on include epilepsy, genetic mutations, and seizures. One researcher, Professor Ingrid Scheffer, has published the most papers in this field, and the journal "Epilepsy" has been cited frequently.
This research is important because it highlights the increasing interest and depth of study in DEE and genetic factors related to epilepsy. Understanding these trends can help guide future research and improve care for individuals with epilepsy. However, the study is limited to published articles, so it may not capture all ongoing research or the experiences of patients and families.
