- The Main aims of the EpimiRNA consortium are to
- Identify miRNAs that are functional in human TLE and evaluate how non-pharmacological interventions including brain stimulation modulate miRNAs
- Identify miRNAs involved in epileptogenesis and determine the mechanism(s) by which miRNA changes contribute to epileptogenesis
- Determine the role of genetic variation in miRNAs and their biogenesis pathway in human TLE
- Identify miRNAs that are biomarkers of epileptogenesis or seizures in humans
- Develop novel miRNA-modulating molecules as future therapeutics for epilepsy
