Statin use and risk of remote seizure after first new onset status epilepticus

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Preclinical evidence supports the role of statins as antiepileptogenic agents. In this study, we investigated the risk of remote unprovoked seizures (RS) according to the use of statin therapy in a cohort of first‐ever status epilepticus (SE) survivors. Methods Retrospective analysis was made of adult patients (age ≥ 14 years) with a

Ketogenic diet fails to mitigate seizures and neuroinflammatory responses in a mouse model of virus‐induced epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate intervention widely used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, thought to reduce seizures through a combination of metabolic, neuronal, and microbiota‐dependent mechanisms. Additionally, recent studies suggest that the anticonvulsant effects of KD require the gut microbiota, with ...

Selective γ8 transmembrane α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic acid receptor regulatory protein negative allosteric modulators: Efficacy in preclinical antiseizure models

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective RAP‐219, a potent selective negative allosteric modulator (NAM) of α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) associated with γ8 transmembrane AMPAR regulatory protein (TARPγ8), is in phase 3 development for refractory focal epilepsy. This study was undertaken to assess efficacy and motor function following

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

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.
