Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
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.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Abnormal functional connectivity patterns in temporal lobe epilepsy—An international ENIGMA‐epilepsy study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) impacts multiple brain networks. Aberrant functional connectivity has been demonstrated in resting‐state networks (RSNs) that mediate higher brain functions in TLE. This study aimed to identify the reproducible patterns of altered functional connectivity in TLE in a large, international cohort through ...

Functional synergy of a human-specific and an ape-specific metabolic regulator in human neocortex development

Nature Communications
Metabolism has recently emerged as a major target of genes implicated in the evolutionary expansion of human neocortex. One such gene is the human-specific gene ARHGAP11B.

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

The growth factor EPIREGULIN promotes basal progenitor cell proliferation in the developing neocortex

The EMBO Journal
Neocortex expansion during evolution is linked to higher numbers of neurons, which are thought to result from increased proliferative capacity and neurogenic potential of basal progenitor cells during development.

Ten‐year cognitive outcomes following epilepsy surgery: Temporal lobectomy versus selective amygdalohippocampectomy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to assess long‐term memory outcomes in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) or selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SAH), compared to nonoperated TLE over a 10‐year follow‐up period.

Transcriptional signatures of cortical morphometric variability in temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Widespread cognitive deficits in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are associated with macroscale brain structural changes. However, the correlation between the changes in the cortical morphological similarity of the TLE and gene expression remains unclear.

Posttranscriptional Control of Neural Progenitors Temporal Dynamics During Neocortical Development by Syncrip

Advanced Science
The development of the mammalian neocortex is precisely regulated by temporal gene expression, yet the temporal regulatory mechanisms of cortical neurogenesis, particularly how radial glial cells (RGCs) sequentially generate deep to superficial neurons ...
