New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.

Artificial intelligence in preclinical epilepsy research: Current state, potential, and challenges
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Preclinical translational epilepsy research uses animal models to better understand the mechanisms underlying epilepsy and its comorbidities, as well as to analyze and develop potential treatments that may mitigate this neurological disorder and its associated conditions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool across

Levosimendan exerts anticonvulsant properties against PTZ-induced seizures in mice through activation of nNOS/NO pathway: Role for K
, 2017 Aims Although approving new anticonvulsants was a major breakthrough in the field of epilepsy control, so far we have met limited success in almost one third of patients suffering from epilepsy and a definite and reliable method is yet to be found ...

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Relationship between hTERT levels and oxidative stress in epilepsy patients
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is a key determinant of telomere maintenance and cellular aging. Oxidative stress plays a role in neurodegenerative processes by causing cellular damage through increased reactive oxygen species.
