Using a single-cell sequencing technique, Brazilian researchers have created the first cell atlas of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), a malformation of the cerebral cortex that leads to drug-resistant epilepsy. These cases are most common in children and adolescents, accounting for up to 50% of epilepsy surgeries in this age group.
