Could calcitonin gene‐related peptide inhibitors prevent status epilepticus?

Epilepsia, Volume 67, Issue 10, Page e198-e201, October 2026.
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.

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

Epilepsia Open, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1395-1412, October 2026.
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare

Astrocyte subtype‐specific alterations in the dentate gyrus of individuals with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1651-1667, October 2026.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide and, although primarily attributed to neuronal dysfunction, increasing evidence highlights a critical role of glial cells, particularly astrocytes, in the pathophysiological mechanisms.

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 893-907, October 2026.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.

Neuropathic Pain Comorbid Cognitive Impairment and Vitamin D: A Narrative Review From Mechanisms to Clinical Management

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Vitamin D is an essential fat‐soluble nutrient primarily obtained through cutaneous synthesis triggered by ultraviolet exposure and dietary intake. After systemic metabolism and activation, it binds to vitamin D receptors widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, exerting pleiotropic neuroprotective and regulatory biological ...

CX3CR1 Modulates Migration of Resident Microglia Towards Cortical Laser‐Induced Lesions

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 10, October 2026.
CX3CR1 deficiency promotes microglial migration toward CNS injury. Proteomic profiling reveals altered RHO‐mediated cytoskeletal signaling, while in vivo two‐photon imaging demonstrates increased process extension, velocity, and accumulation of Cx3cr1‐deficient microglia at lesion sites. ABSTRACT Microglia are innate immune cells of the central nervous

Small Molecule Therapeutic Approaches With a Greater Focus on Hearing Loss: A Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most common sensory impairments worldwide and has substantial effects on quality of life and daily functioning. Although cochlear implants and hearing aids have markedly improved the management of hearing impairment, these devices do not directly address the underlying pathogenic mechanisms ...

Mfn2 downregulation in excitotoxicity causes mitochondrial dysfunction and delayed neuronal death [PDF]

EMBO Journal, 2014
Mitochondrial fusion and fission is a dynamic process critical for the maintenance of mitochondrial function and cell viability. During excitotoxicity neuronal mitochondria are fragmented, but the mechanism underlying this process is poorly understood ...

Possible role of excitotoxicity in the pathogenesis of glaucoma

Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2006
Excitotoxicity describes the process of neuronal injury by excess stimulation of amino acid receptors. This form of insult was first described in the retina, and subsequently has been shown to be an important component of the pathogenesis of ischaemic ...
