Impulsivity-linked genes identified in epilepsy

A new paper has been published in the NPJ Genomic Medicine: “SLCO5A1 and synaptic assembly genes contribute to
impulsivity in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy”

Link one contains a short description of the research paper with an interesting video where Professor Deb Pal, the senior author of the paper, speaks at a congress in Dublin about this study. And link two contains the research paper itself.
