- Bipolar disorder and epilepsy linked to turning down an inhibitory switch in brain circuits Jan. 3, 2017
- Researchers have shown a link between epilepsy and how a gene associated with bipolar disorder controls the balance between brain excitation and inhibition.
- KCNQ2 Cure Alliance and The Jackson Laboratory Collaborate on Precision Mouse Models of Genetic Epilepsy Oct. 19, 2015
- KCNQ2 Cure Alliance Foundation and The Jackson Laboratory today announced a collaboration to construct mouse models of KCNQ2 encephalopathy, a severe genetic form of epilepsy and developmental disabilities.
- In the lab with Jack's Army April 25, 2014
- The Jack Pribaz Foundation has a way of bringing people together. The foundation, also known as Jack's Army, was established to help find a cure for KCNQ2 deficiency, an uncommon genetic mutation that causes a severe form of infantile onset epilepsy.
- Images of the Month: A Special Collaboration April 1, 2014
- Scotty Sims, 2-year-old Harper, Jim Johnson and Dr. Edward Cooper meet in Cooper's lab. Harper has a severe form of epilepsy that begins in the first few days of life, known as KCNQ2 deficiency. The family traveled from Denver to Houston to tour the lab and meet with Cooper who is leading the way in…
- Families tour Houston doctor's lab in search for KCNQ2 cure March 14, 2014

- Oyster Creek Rotary donates to Baylor College of Medicine's epilepsy research June 29, 2011
- The Oyster Creek Rotary Club of Fort Bend County recently donated $1,000 to Baylor College of Medicine for epilepsy research.
- Ion channel interaction sheds light on epilepsy, other neurological disorders March 7, 2006
- Researchers discovered the mechanism that facilitates how two ion channels collaborate in the control of electrical signals in the brain. They showed that the channels were anchored by a third protein at key locations on the nerve cell surface, and also found that the channel partnership is present in all vertebrates, but lacking in invertebrates.
