Epilepsy surgery: From bench to the clinics

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recent advances in epilepsy surgery in patients with intractable epilepsy make it possible to study the mechanism of epilepsy in human brains. However, the true extent and propagation of each epileptogenic area from the epileptogenic focus in each patient is still difficult to perform “epilepsy cure” by surgery.

Microelectrode array scaled for human hippocampal slices

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is characterized by recurrent seizures originating usually from the hippocampus, and approximately one‐third of TLE patients remain refractory to pharmacological interventions. Surgical resection offers a potential cure for refractory TLE cases, with approximately 70% achieving seizure freedom. Still, the

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

Global disparities in the recognition, diagnosis, and management of seizures or epilepsy of autoimmune etiology

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Despite advancements in “autoimmune epilepsy,” more accurately referred to herein as seizures or epilepsy of autoimmune etiology, significant variability exists in its recognition, diagnosis, and management internationally. This study assessed clinicians' understanding, access to diagnostic tools, and treatment practices across ...

An iEEG investigation on sex‐specific differences in seizure duration

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Male people with epilepsy (mPWE) are at higher risk for bilateral tonic–clonic seizures (BTCs) and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) compared to female people with epilepsy (fPWE). Despite major clinical and personal implications, little is known about sex‐specific differences in seizure propagation and termination ...

Artificial intelligence in the assessment of epilepsy‐related genetic mutations: Learned from GABAA receptors and GABA transporter 1

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract This review examines how recent genetic and technological advances have transformed our understanding and treatment of genetic epilepsies (GEs), with a focus on disorders involving GABAA receptors (GABRs) and the GABA transporter 1 (GAT‐1) encoded by SLC6A1.

Chronic sleep deprivation promotes drug‐resistant epilepsy via the BMAL1‐mTOR‐P‐gp axis

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The interplay between chronic sleep deprivation and drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) has gained increasing attention. Brain and muscle Arnt‐like protein 1 (BMAL1), which is implicated in sleep disturbance, has an unclear role in DRE. We aimed to investigate the role of BMAL1 in sleep deprivation‐induced DRE. Methods A pentylenetetrazole
