Can Neuronal Migration Be Cured?

How is neuronal migration defect treated? There is no treatment for neuronal migration defect, but treatment is focused on the symptoms, which can include seizure. While the seizures associated with this condition are difficult to control with medication, special diet and surgery can help control them.

Does neuronal migration cause birth defects?

Neuronal migration disorders (NMDs) are a group of birth defects caused by the abnormal migration of neurons in the developing brain and nervous system. In the developing brain, neurons must migrate from the areas where they are born to the areas where they will settle into their proper neural circuits.

What developmental condition is due to a failure in neuronal migration?

Neuronal migration disorders (NMD) are developmental malformations of the cerebral hemispheres, frequently associated with severe epilepsy in children and adults. They can be defined as “cerebral malformations characterised by malpositioning and faulty differentiation of cortical grey matter”.
