A companion to the preclinical common data elements for rodent models of pediatric acquired epilepsy: A report of the TASK3‐WG1B, Pediatric and Genetic Models Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes during the early years of life may be attributed to an acquired insult, such as hypoxic–ischemic injury, infection, status epilepticus, or brain trauma. These conditions are frequently modeled in experimental rodents to delineate mechanisms of epileptogenesis and investigate novel therapeutic strategies.

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

The Quinoline Photoremovable Group (PPG) Platform—A Medicinal Chemist's Approach for Photocage Development and Applications

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photoremovable protecting groups (PPGs) offer a straightforward solution for the temporary inactivation of biologically active substrates and their subsequent controlled release by light irradiation. Their relatively easy design and mode of application have made them useful tools for studying dynamic biological processes in vitro and in vivo ...

Toward molecular phenotyping of temporal lobe epilepsy by spatial omics

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), detection of the epileptogenic zone predicts a good surgical outcome. When submitted to 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET), some patients display lateralized, focal hypometabolism in the temporal lobe (PET+), whereas others appear normometabolic (PET−).

EEG signal dimension is an index of seizure propensity and antiseizure medication effects in a mouse model of acquired epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Variability in the frequency, timing, and pattern of seizures may influence the assessment of the effect of antiseizure medications (ASMs) when measuring seizure frequency, especially in patients with infrequent seizures. A low seizure rate is an exclusion criterion for enrollment of patients with epilepsy in clinical trials and ...

The human photosensitive epilepsy model for clinical proof‐of‐principle trials of novel antiseizure medications: 2. Analysis of drug trials and predictive value of the model

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Clinical development of novel antiseizure medications (ASMs) would benefit from an early proof of principle (POP) model. The photosensitivity model, which uses the photoparoxysmal electroencephalographic response (PPR) as a surrogate of seizures, is currently the only human model that allows POP trials of investigational compounds after a ...

Natural aminosterols inhibit NMDA receptors with low nanomolar potency

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Misfunction of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptors is associated with many brain disorders, making them primary targets for drug discovery. Trodusquemine and other natural aminosterols inhibit NMDA receptors with low nanomolar potency through binding to the cell membranes followed by interaction with the channels.

Efficacy of phenobarbital is maintained after exposure to mild‐to‐moderate seizures in neonates

Epilepsia Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 948-956, June 2025.
Abstract To study the relationship between the delay in treatment and the efficacy of phenobarbital in neonates, we re‐analyzed data from the NEOLEV2 study. Continuous video EEG (cEEG) from patients treated with phenobarbital was reviewed by neurophysiologists who marked each seizure.

Calpastatin, a calpain specific inhibitor, reduce seizures in a mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 957-964, June 2025.
Abstract Epilepsy is a chronic condition characterized by unpredictable and recurrent spontaneous seizures. In a previous study, we reported that pharmacological inhibition of calpain prevented epileptogenesis in the rat pilocarpine model. In this study, we demonstrate that transgenic overexpression of calpastatin, the endogenous inhibitor of calpain ...

Cardiac structural and molecular alterations in rodent models of temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 809-821, June 2025.
Abstract Objective Cardiac structural and molecular changes are prevalent in people with chronic epilepsy, possibly contributing to an increased risk of premature mortality. However, understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms is limited.
