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

Investigating the interplay between excitatory neurotransmission and GABAa receptor expression and trafficking in the stargazer mutant mouse [PDF]
, 2006 The stargazer mutant mouse is an animal model of human absence epilepsy and cerebellar ataxia. The stargazer mutation results in the complete ablation of expression of TARPy2， an AMPA receptor (AMPAR) auxiliary subunit.

Kainate receptors: on the dark side [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2014 Synaptic glutamate receptors can be divided into metabotropic receptors, an eight-member GPCR family, and ionotropic glutamate receptors, a three-member family of NMDA, kainate, and AMPA tetrameric receptors. The most neglected are the five subunit (GluK1–5) kainate receptors, often either lumped with the AMPA receptors because of pharmacological ...

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 ...

Molecular Physiology of Kainate Receptors [PDF]
Physiological Reviews, 2001 A decade ago, our understanding of the molecular properties of kainate receptors and their involvement in synaptic physiology was essentially null. A plethora of recent studies has altered this situation profoundly such that kainate receptors are now regarded as key players in the modulation of transmitter release, as important mediators of the ...

Crucial Roles of the Endocannabinoid 2-Arachidonoylglycerol in the Suppression of Epileptic Seizures
Cell Reports, 2016 Endocannabinoid signaling is considered to suppress excessive excitability of neural circuits and to protect the brain from seizures. However, the precise mechanisms of this effect are poorly understood. Here, we report that 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG),
