Metabolism Controls the Timing of Human Brain Development and Maturation. [PDF]

J Inherit Metab Dis
ABSTRACT Among primates the human brain is the largest in size, exhibiting a higher neuronal density and connectivity. The prolonged expansion and subsequent connectome reorganization of the human brain have been suggested to promote higher cognitive and behavioral abilities.

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.

Nodal Na+ and Ca2+ flux dynamics in cortical myelinated axons

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Functional neuronal connectivity relies on long-range propagation of action potentials by myelinated axons. This process critically depends on the distribution and biophysical properties of ion channels clustered at specialized, regularly spaced domains,

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.

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.

Evaluating the task‐specificity model of verbal memory: Regional volumetric analyses in temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Verbal memory tasks differ in their cognitive demands and may rely on distinct left medial temporal structures. One model holds that verbal delayed recall is hippocampal dependent, whereas verbal paired associate learning relies on adjacent rhinal cortex.

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.

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 ...

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 ...
