Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Resting‐state functional connectivity changes with microburst vagus nerve stimulation therapy
Abstract Objective Microburst vagus nerve stimulation (μVNS) may reduce seizure frequency in drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) via targeted thalamic plasticity. We prospectively investigated the role of thalamic resting‐state functional connectivity (rsFC) in μVNS effects and hypothesized a relationship between thalamic rsFC and long‐term seizure frequency

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Apolipoprotein E4, inhibitory network dysfunction, and Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Apolipoprotein (apo) E4 is the major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), increasing risk and decreasing age of disease onset. Many studies have demonstrated the detrimental effects of apoE4 in varying cellular contexts.

Abstract Objective The gut microbiota (GM) plays a role in epilepsy development via the microbiota–gut–brain axis. However, its relationship with various epilepsy subtypes and its mediating role through immune cells remain unclear. Thus, identifying the GM linked to specific epilepsy subtypes and investigating immune mechanisms to predict epilepsy risk,

Abstract Objective A benzodiazepine (diazepam or midazolam) is one of the current standards of care therapies to effectively terminate organophosphorus nerve agent‐induced status epilepticus when administered shortly after onset. Preclinical studies showed that benzodiazepines were less effective in stopping status epilepticus when treatment was ...

Increased mRNA Expression for the α\u3csub\u3e1\u3c/sub\u3e Subunit of the GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e Receptor Following Nitrous Oxide Exposure in Mice [PDF]
The mechanisms by which nitrous oxide (N2O) produces physical dependence and withdrawal seizures are not well understood, but both N2O and ethanol exert some of their effects via the GABAA receptor and several lines of evidence indicate that withdrawal ...
