He first developed gait difficulty at the age of 12. Given clinical signs of bradykinesia and resting tremor, he received a clinical diagnosis of childhood-onset parkinsonism. Treatment with oral levodopa initially improved symptoms, but after 2 years, he developed motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. Additional signs of spasticity and brain MRI showing a thin corpus callosum prompted genetic testing that identified a heterozygous pathogenic variant in the PRKN gene. However, he exhibited a progressive loss of response to chronic dopaminergic therapy, first with oral and later with continuous levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel infusion, with disease progression over 7 years. This progression led to further genetic testing and the diagnosis of hereditary spastic paraplegia type 15 (SPG 15). Advancing motor symptoms prompted deep brain stimulation and botulinum toxin injections, although these had limited benefit. This case highlights the challenges of diagnosing and managing juvenile-onset parkinsonism and the value of comprehensive genetic analysis in evaluating genotypic-phenotypic correlations. Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a rare group of neurodegenerative disorders with diverse clinical and genetic features. They can be inherited in autosomal dominant, recessive, X-linked, or mitochondrial patterns. The SPG15 subtype (or HSP-<i>ZFYVE26)</i>, caused by pathogenic variants in the <i>ZFYVE26</i> gene, is a common form of autosomal recessive HSP. Presenting symptoms vary but commonly include cognitive impairment with a history of speech delay or learning disability and balance impairment or clumsiness from spasticity of the lower limbs.</p>","PeriodicalId":19256,"journal":{"name":"Neurology","volume":"106 3","pages":"e214514"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145934556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite evidence that SUDEP counseling does not cause stress, improves treatment adherence, and empowers people with epilepsy and their caregivers, it remains underdiscussed. This study aimed to explore the in-depth perspectives of parents who have lost a child to SUDEP, focusing on their experiences, grief, and coping strategies, while factoring in their demographics, the clinical features of their deceased children, and their previous awareness of SUDEP, all aspects that have not been systematically investigated before.METHODSThis qualitative phenomenological study involved in-depth semistructured interviews with 51 parents of 43 children who died of SUDEP. Transcripts were analyzed using immersion/crystallization qualitative methodology with Dedoose software, using an iterative consensus-building process. Thematic analysis revealed common perspectives, grief narratives, coping strategies, and perceived needs among parents after their child's SUDEP.RESULTSOf the 51 participating parents (mean age 54.1 ± 9.4 years, 71% female), 27 reported being unaware of SUDEP before it occurred, whereas 24 reported previous awareness of it. These groups shared similar demographics and clinical characteristics. However, \"unaware\" parents expressed more intense trauma and prolonged maladaptive grief, characterized by guilt, extreme anger, and medical distrust. By contrast, \"aware\" parents described mitigated trauma, with less guilt- and anger-ridden grief, and reduced reliance on specialized support groups. Previous SUDEP awareness provided emotional preparation, buffering the devastating reality and fostering agency and acceptance. Another theme highlighted the struggles parents faced immediately after SUDEP, particularly with law enforcement and treating physicians. Unanimously, parents emphasized the paramount importance of counseling about the known relationship between epilepsy and SUDEP.DISCUSSIONPrevious awareness of SUDEP (or lack thereof) has complex and far-reaching effects on the subsequent parental perceived trauma, grief, and coping processes. Furthermore, emergency responders, official personnel, and treating physicians may mishandle the aftermath of SUDEP. This study's findings strongly advocate for a paradigm shift in SUDEP-related practices across multiple disciplines, including legislation. Emphasis should be placed on increasing proactive SUDEP counseling to mitigate the traumatic effect and subsequent grieving process when SUDEP occurs.","PeriodicalId":19256,"journal":{"name":"Neurology","volume":"2 1","pages":"e214623"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146089093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Houston Merritt Award Lecture.","authors":"Roy H Hamilton","doi":"10.1212/wnl.0000000000214611","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1212/wnl.0000000000214611","url":null,"abstract":"Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has emerged as a transformative tool in both cognitive neuroscience research and the treatment of a growing range of neuropsychiatric conditions. This commentary, based on the 2025 H. Houston Merritt Lecture, explores how NIBS can be applied within a translational cognitive neuroscience framework that bridges theoretical models of cognitive function with targeted neural interventions. Drawing on over 15 years of research, the major focus of this piece is on the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to characterize and enhance language function in persons with aphasia (PWA). A significant body of work has examined the role of the right hemisphere, particularly the right pars triangularis, which may exert a maladaptive influence within reorganized language networks in many PWA. Inhibitory TMS targeting this region has been shown to produce both transient and sustained improvements in language performance. Key predictors of response to TMS include the characteristics of participants' language deficits and genetic differences that influence neuroplasticity. Network neuroscience approaches can also enhance predictive accuracy by revealing how individual variations in brain structure influence stimulation outcomes. While TMS remains the most extensively studied NIBS modality, transcranial electrical stimulation is gaining momentum, with promising results in both poststroke and primary progressive aphasia. Emerging modalities such as focused ultrasound and transcranial temporal interference stimulation are also on the rise as tools for enhancing brain performance. However, the expanding use of NIBS also raises ethical considerations that must be addressed to ensure its equitable and responsible deployment. Ultimately, NIBS represents a powerful convergence of neuroscience and technology, offering renewed hope for restoring cognitive function in individuals affected by neurologic disease.","PeriodicalId":19256,"journal":{"name":"Neurology","volume":"282 1","pages":"e214611"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146089094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
