The SCN1A Horizons Study - the neuropsychological aspects explained

Dr Rebecca Bromley, Paediatric Neuropsychologist and Dr Jennifer Baulcomb, Educational & Child Psychologist are part of the SCN1A Horizons team and explain the neuropsychological aspects of the study. SCN1A Horizons is anticipated to be a milestone in transforming understanding of SCN1A epilepsies, including Dravet Syndrome, one of the most complex and severe developmental and epileptic conditions. The nationwide study aims to define the seizure, neuro-developmental, and behavioural characteristics of SCN1A-related epilepsies in 400 children and adults over a period of three years, with the goal of improving and standardising care across the UK.
