RHEB/mTOR hyperactivity causes cortical malformations and epileptic seizures through increased axonal connectivity.

RHEB/mTOR hyperactivity causes cortical malformations and epileptic seizures through increased axonal connectivity.

Hyperactivation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway can cause malformation of cortical development (MCD) with associated epilepsy and intellectual disability (ID) through a yet unknown mechanism.
