Altered neuronal excitability in neurodevelopmental disorders can have profound implications for adult brain function. Understanding the critical time windows determining the clinical outcomes and lasting changes induced during these periods is therefore crucial. In our mouse model of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) harboring a patient-derived Scn2a (p.A263V) mutation that results in a gain-of-function of Nav1.2 channels, Scn2a mutants exhibit a transient increase in excitability of hippocampal pyramidal neurons in vitro during the neonatal period. In vivo, homozygous Scn2a mu
