Iconography of abnormal non-neuronal cells in pediatric focal cortical dysplasia type IIb and tuberous sclerosis complex by Joyce Zhang, Deneen Argueta, Xiaoping Tong, Harry V. Vinters, Gary W. Mathern, Carlos Cepeda

“…Thus, despite their distinct properties and etiologies, they share a common functional feature. We hypothesize that, although the exact role of abnormal non-neuronal cells in FCDIIb and TSC remains mysterious, it can be suggested that cells displaying more glial-like properties function in a similar way as astrocytes do, i.e., to buffer K+ ions and neurotransmitters, while those with more neuronal properties, may represent a metabolic burden due to high energy demands but inability to receive or transmit electric signals. …”
