Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesEpilepsia 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

open access: yesEpilepsia 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.

Rest‐activity patterns across development in two mouse models of autism and epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sleep disturbances are common in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and epilepsy and are increasingly recognized as comorbidities that affect disease severity and quality of life. This study investigated rest‐activity patterns across development in two genetic mouse models relevant to ASD and epilepsy: synapsin 2 (Syn2 ...

The gut microbiome and drug‐resistant epilepsy: Microbiome–antiseizure medication interactions and implications for pharmacoresistance

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects approximately one‐third of patients with epilepsy and represents a major unmet clinical need. While traditional hypotheses of pharmacoresistance have focused on alterations in drug targets, efflux transporter overexpression, and intrinsic disease severity, the gut microbiome has recently emerged as a ...

Microbial Interventions in Processing of Plant Based Proteins: Unlocking Extraction Dynamics and Functionality for Human Health

open access: yesFood Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Fermentation enhances nutritional & techno‐functional properties of plant protein. Three distinct stages of fermentation impact on different aspects of plant protein. Fermentation induces flavors modulation through new organic compounds formation. Plant protein fermentation improves their utility in food applications.

Biochemistry of Neurotransmitter Release

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1979
tcalcium channels transiently. The brief intlux of calcium rapidly stimulates release of quanta of transmitter, which in turn produce postsynaptic change in conductance. Anatomical studies of the morphology of nerve terminals have correlated the quantum of transmitter release with exocyto­ sis of the contents of a single synaptic vesicle.

Synaptotagmin and neurotransmitter release

Cell, 1993
William M. DeBello,’ Heinrich Bet Torri-Tarelli et al., 1985), and that this exocytosis is trig- gered by a rise in the concentration of Ca within presynap- tic terminals (Miledi, 1973). The source of this triggering Ca is the voltage-gated Ca channel, which is found in close proximity to the sites of exocytosis (Augustine et al., 1987).
