Introduction. Diffusion measurements inside biological tissues provide information about tissue configuration at a microscopic level, which are inaccessible to other magnetic resonance (MR) techniques. Objectives. To quantify, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), the damage of lesions and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) from patients with...

A missense mutation in the gene encoding the α2 subunit of the Na+,K+ ATPase pump (ATP1A2) was found in a family with both familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) and Benign Familial Infantile Seizures (BFIC). As it is still unclear whether ATP1A2 is responsible for pure BFIC syndromes, we checked mutations of the ATP1A2 gene in probands of 12...
