Exploratory analysis of a Novel RACK1 mutation and its potential role in epileptic seizures via Microglia activation by Sai Zhang, Zhaofei Dong, Jing Guo, Ze Li, Hong Wu, Linming Zhang, Fuli Min, Tao Zeng

“…Mutant microglia exhibited increased activation and induced apoptosis in hippocampal neurons, leading to higher action potential frequency and excitatory synaptic marker expression. In vivo experiments demonstrated that RACK1-p.L206P mutant mice displayed classic seizure symptoms, with increased neuronal excitability and a tendency for action potential bursts during initial depolarization, along with more frequent spike discharges. …”
