CDR Members Co-author Piece in Neurobiology of Disease
Research from CDR scientists John LaFrancois, Meghan Kennedy, Christos Lisgaras, and Helen Scharfman has been featured in the February 2026 issue of Neurobiology of Disease. Their study, “Chemogenetic activation of hippocampal area CA2 promotes acute and chronic seizures in a mouse model of epilepsy,” reveals fascinating insights that reconcile conflicting findings about sex-based differences in epilepsy while redirecting attention toward how these differences selectively impact specific seizure characteristics rather than seizure manifestations broadly.
