Reduced Effect of Anticonvulsants on AMPA Receptor Palmitoylation-Deficient Mice
AMPA receptors are responsible for fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain. Post-translational protein S-palmitoylation of AMPA receptor subunits GluA1-4 reversibly regulates synaptic AMPA receptor expression, resulting in long ...

Pain‐autonomic measures reveal nociceptive sensitization in complex regional pain syndrome
Abstract Background Allodynia and hyperalgesia are common signs in individuals with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), mainly attributed to sensitization of the nociceptive system. Appropriate diagnostic tools for the objective assessment of such hypersensitivities are still lacking, which are essential for the development of mechanism‐based ...

Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Anticonvulsant Activities of New Triazolopyrimidine Derivatives
Epilepsy, a severe brain disease affecting a large population, is treated mainly by antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). However, toxicity, intolerance, and low efficiency of the available AEDs have prompted the continual attempts in the discovery of new AEDs. In

Role of acid‐base and hydration‐dehydration equilibria on reductions of chloral and chloral hydrate
Abstract The electrochemical behavior of chloral hydrate in aqueous solutions at various pH values was investigated by using polarography. Reduction of chloral hydrate takes place in two steps: one appears as a small limiting current value that corresponds to the reduction of the unhydrated form, present in solutions in less than 3%, and another larger

The Effects of Valproic Acid on Appetitive and Aversive Instrumental Learning in Adult Rats
Antiepileptic medications are the frontline treatment for seizure conditions. However, these medications are not without cognitive side effects. Previously, our laboratory reported learning deficits in phenytoin and carbamazepine-treated rats.

Exposing Hidden Alternative Conformations of Small Flexible Molecules in 2D NMR Spectroscopy Using 1H-15N HMBC [PDF]
Two-dimensional 1H-15N HMBC NMR spectra of a well-known anticonvulsant-carbamazepine-dissolved in chloroform, recorded on an NMR spectrometer and obtained from quantum-chemical calculations prove the existence of hidden conformers in saturated solutions.

Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy: Distinctive MRI Changes in Cerebellar and Motor Networks
ABSTRACT Objective Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) is a rare generalized epilepsy syndrome with a well‐characterized genetic basis. The brain networks that are affected to give rise to the distinctive symptoms of PME are less well understood. Methods Eleven individuals with PME with a confirmed genetic diagnosis and 22 controls were studied.
