Scn1a‐mediated developmental regulation of prefrontal cortex plasticity and cognition

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The voltage‐gated sodium channel Nav1.1, encoded by Scn1a, is essential for γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic function, and its alteration is associated with neurological disorders such as Dravet syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. We previously demonstrated that local Nav1.1 dysfunction in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) during ...

Characterizing sleep disturbances in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies through natural language processing: A retrospective monocentric study

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sleep disorders are frequent but undercharacterized comorbidities in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs). We aimed to estimate the frequency, spectrum, and burden of sleep disturbances across genetic DEE subtypes using real‐world data extracted from electronic health records (EHRs) through natural language processing (

Predicting levetiracetam neuropsychiatric adverse effects using graph‐theoretical electroencephalographic network metrics in drug‐naive focal epilepsy: A multicenter longitudinal study

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
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 ...

Genetic Causes of Generalized Epilepsies [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Neurology, 2015
Generalized epilepsies, particularly the idiopathic or genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs), represent some of the most common epilepsies. Clinical genetic data including family studies and twin studies provide compelling evidence for a prominent genetic impact.

Narrative Review of Brivaracetam for Genetic Generalized Epilepsies

Seizure: the Journal of the British Epilepsy Association, 2022
The licensed treatment options for genetic generalized epilepsies are limited although many patients with these conditions require chronic pharmacological management with antiseizure medications and there are no curative surgical treatment options. Brivaracetam is being studied as a new therapeutic option for genetic generalized epilepsies.In order to ...

Social Impairment and Stigma in Genetic Generalized Epilepsies

Epilepsy and Behavior, 2020
Patients with epilepsy have poor social outcome. Multifactorial factors are usually involved, but among them, stigma features may have an important role. Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs) were previously considered "benign" syndromes. The aim of our study was to assess social impairment and stigma in GGE and to evaluate differences between the ...

Female preponderance in genetic generalized epilepsies

Seizure, 2021
Epilepsy is more prevalent in men but Genetic Generalized Epilepsies (GGE) seem to be more common in women. A predominant maternal inheritance has been previously described in GGE. Our objective was to determine sex and inheritance patterns in a GGE population compared to mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLEHS).We performed a ...

Genetic Generalized Epilepsies

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2012
In the International League Against Epilepsy's most recent revision of classification and terminology, the term idiopathic epilepsy, previously used to describe those epilepsies whose cause was unknown, but presumed genetic, has been removed. It has been replaced by the term genetic epilepsy, only to be used to describe epilepsy in which the etiology ...

Genetic Polymorphisms and Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies

Pediatric Neurology, 2007
In recent years, progress in understanding the genetic basis of idiopathic generalized epilepsies has proven challenging because of their complex inheritance patterns and genetic heterogeneity. Genetic polymorphisms offer a convenient avenue for a better understanding of the genetic basis of idiopathic generalized epilepsy by providing evidence for the
