The lateral amygdala (LA) has been extensively implicated in the neurobiology of conditioned fear paradigms. Norepinepherine (NE), especially its beta receptors, has been implicated in consolidation, reconsolidation and extinction of fear memories, and ...

Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Rostral associations of MRI atrophy of the amygdala and entorhinal cortex across the AD spectrum
This paper examines associations of atrophy in the amygdala, entorhinal cortex and hippocampus based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans from two independent cohorts: Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging ...

Is the lateral septum's inhibitory influence on the amygdala mediated by GABA-ergic neurons?
Previous studies suggest that the lateral septum and amygdala are critical in the production and regulation of anxiety. The lateral septum may express its anxiolytic properties by directly inhibiting the activity of the amygdala.

Low Levels of Tyrosine Hydroxylase in the Lateral Nucleus of the Amygdala in Major Depression
The lateral and basal nuclei of the amygdala receive dopaminergic projections from the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra, and noradrenergic projections from the locus coeruleus (LC).

Epilepsy surgery: From bench to the clinics
Abstract Objective Recent advances in epilepsy surgery in patients with intractable epilepsy make it possible to study the mechanism of epilepsy in human brains. However, the true extent and propagation of each epileptogenic area from the epileptogenic focus in each patient is still difficult to perform “epilepsy cure” by surgery.
