eLife, 2020 Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common form of focal, pharmacoresistant epilepsy in adults and is often associated with hippocampal sclerosis. Here, we established the efficacy of optogenetic and electrical low-frequency stimulation (LFS)

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a prevalent chronic neurological disorder characterized by abnormal neuronal electrical activity. The primary treatment modality for individuals with epilepsy (PWE) is antiseizure medication (ASM). The multiple potential factors contributing to treatment resistance in epilepsy may be attributed to the inability of ASMs to

Presynaptic Kainate Receptors Regulate Spinal Sensory Transmission
, 2001 Small diameter dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, which include cells that transmit nociceptive information into the spinal cord, are known to express functional kainate receptors.

Synaptic localization of striatal NMDA, quisqualate and kainate receptors [PDF]
, 1989 Striatal binding of labeled glutamate to (NMDA) receptors, -[alpha]-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazoleproprionic acid (AMPA) to quisqualate receptors and kainate to kainate receptors was examined in rats which had received unilateral decortications or

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 ...

Pharmacological analysis of ionotropic glutamate receptor function in neuronal circuits of the zebrafish olfactory bulb. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Although synaptic functions of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the olfactory bulb have been studied in vitro, their roles in pattern processing in the intact system remain controversial.

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.

Cell Reports, 2017 Kainate receptors are members of the glutamate receptor family that regulate synaptic function in the brain. They modulate synaptic transmission and the excitability of neurons; however, their contributions to neural circuits that underlie behavior are ...

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

Kainate Receptors: Role in Epilepsy [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Kainate (KA) is a potent neurotoxin that has been widely used experimentally to induce acute brain seizures and, after repetitive treatments, as a chronic model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), with similar features to those observed in human patients with TLE.
