NMDA and AMPA receptors: development and status epilepticus.
Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate the majority of excitatory neurotransmission (Dingeldine et al. 1999).

Abstract Objective Following emerging evidence of autoimmune‐associated seizures in medication‐refractory epilepsy, we began offering a trial of immunotherapy to selected patients. Here, we review this approach's treatment response, predictive clinical features, and utility.

Modulating Excitatory Synaptic Neurotransmission: Potential Treatment for Neurological Disease?
Excitatory neurotransmission at many CNS synapses depends upon AMPA-type glutamate receptors. Derangements in AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission may be a contributing factor in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases and could be a target ...

The development of effective approaches to the treatment of patients with symptomatic tumor epilepsy was determined by the level of our fundamental knowledge of the basic mechanisms of epileptogenesis on cellular and molecular level.

Abstract Clinical development of novel antiseizure medications (ASMs) would benefit from an early proof of principle (POP) model. The photosensitivity model, which uses the photoparoxysmal electroencephalographic response (PPR) as a surrogate of seizures, is currently the only human model that allows POP trials of investigational compounds after a ...

A signal transduction blind spot: the function of adenylyl cyclase transmembrane domains
Transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs) are essential for synthesising the universal second messenger cyclic AMP. All tmACs share a common topology that includes a large 12‐helix transmembrane (TM) domain. This domain accounts for ~ 35% of the coding sequence but its function is still an open question.

Neocortical neurogenesis: a proneural gene perspective
The neocortex is a mammalian‐specific brain region responsible for higher‐order cognitive functioning that shares fundamental similarities across species, but which is larger and more complex in humans. Proneural genes, encoding basic helix–loop–helix transcription factors (TFs), are evolutionarily conserved drivers of neurogenesis from fly to human ...
