Abnormal hippocampal melatoninergic system: a potential link between absence epilepsy and depression-like behavior in WAG/Rij rats? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Absence epilepsy and depression are comorbid disorders, but the molecular link between the two disorders is unknown. Here, we examined the role of the melatoninergic system in the pathophysiology of spike and wave discharges (SWDs) and depression-like ...

Clinically indicated electrical stimulation strategies to treat patients with medically refractory epilepsy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Focal epilepsies represent approximately half of all diagnoses, and more than one-third of these patients are refractory to pharmacologic treatment.

Developmental seizures induced by common early-life insults: short- and long-term effects on seizure susceptibility. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The immature brain is highly susceptible to seizures induced by a variety of insults, including hypoxia, fever, and trauma. Unlike early life epilepsy associated with congenital dysplasias or genetic abnormalities, insults induce a hyperexcitable state ...

Alcohol Abuse Promotes Changes in Non-Synaptic Epileptiform Activity with Concomitant Expression Changes in Cotransporters and Glial Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Non-synaptic mechanisms are being considered the common factor of brain damage in status epilepticus and alcohol intoxication. the present work reports the influence of the chronic use of ethanol on epileptic processes sustained by non-synaptic ...

The role of inflammation in epilepsy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Epilepsy is the third most common chronic brain disorder, and is characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate seizures. Despite progress in pharmacological and surgical treatments of epilepsy, relatively little is known about the processes ...

The Role of Microbiota Metabolites Propionic Acid, p‐Cresol, and 4‐Ethylphenyl Sulfate in Autism Susceptibility: A Systematic Review

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The etiopathogenesis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses complex interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors. The high prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders in autistic individuals has propelled a growing interest in the possible involvement of gut dysbiosis in ASD pathogenesis.

Invasive nasal histiocytic sarcoma as a cause of temporal lobe epilepsy in a cat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Case summary A 10-year-old neutered female domestic shorthair cat was presented with an acute onset of neurological signs suggestive of a right-sided forebrain lesion, temporal lobe epilepsy and generalised seizure activity.

Ranking of antiseizure medications in a panel of focal seizure models predicts their comparative efficacy in clinical add‐on trials in drug‐resistant focal epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Most antiseizure medications (ASMs) have been discovered by testing in animal models, which are generally thought to predict antiseizure activity in patients. However, it is not known whether any of these models (or a combination of models) can predict whether a novel ASM exhibits higher clinical efficacy in focal drug‐resistant ...

CaMKIIβ insufficiency disrupts cortical networks, producing aberrant low‐gamma oscillations and seizure susceptibility

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pathogenic variants in the calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II B gene (CAMK2B) have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, including epilepsy, yet the mechanisms underlying cortical dysfunction remain largely unclear.
