Altered cortical synchronization in photosensitive idiopathic generalized epilepsy
Abstract Objective To characterize cortical excitability and synchronization dynamics in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) and photosensitivity by assessing steady‐state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) elicited by intermittent photic stimulation.

β‐Hydroxybutyrate reduces neuronal excitability via GIRK channels
β‐Hydroxybutyrate decreases neuronal excitability by activating GIRK channels through HCAR2 signaling, providing a cellular mechanism that may contribute to the antiseizure effects of the ketogenic diet. Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet is used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, yet the molecular mechanisms coupling metabolic state to seizure ...

Abnormal KCC2 expression and function in a mouse model of epilepsy and tuberous sclerosis complex
Abstract Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy is a common, severe manifestation of the genetic disorder tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Although significant mechanistic and therapeutic advances have been made in TSC, treatments for seizures remain largely ineffective.

Could calcitonin gene‐related peptide inhibitors prevent status epilepticus?
Abstract Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors modulate pain and neuroinflammation, a recognized contributor to epileptogenesis and status epilepticus (SE). We examined the association between CGRP inhibitor use and SE hospitalization in epilepsy patients with comorbid migraine.

Abstract Objective Elevated body temperature may increase seizure risk, yet the relationship between thermoregulation and seizures, as well as the underlying mechanisms, remains poorly understood. We investigated whether thermoregulatory control is altered in experimental temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), as such impairment could reduce the ability of ...

Abstract Objective Levetiracetam (LEV) is an antiseizure medication approved for focal and generalized epilepsy. Despite its efficacy, neuropsychiatric adverse effects (NP‐AEs) may lead to treatment discontinuation. Quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) graph‐theoretical analysis has emerged as a valuable tool for identifying neurophysiological ...
