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.

Kainate receptor function in rodent subcortical visual processing. [PDF]
, 2007 Glutamate is found throughout the central nervous system and has been shown to be an important excitatory neurotransmitter in the visual system. There are two subdivisions of receptor on which this ubiquitous neurotransmitter acts, metabotropic (mGluR ...

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.

Regulation of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 7a by PDZ-domain protein PICK1 [PDF]
, 2007 Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 7 (mGluR7) belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors. mGluR7 is widely distributed in the brain and primarily localized at presynaptic terminals, where it is thought to regulate neurotransmitter release ...

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.

Cooperative Glutamatergic and Cholinergic Mechanisms Generate Short-Term Modifications of Synaptic Effectiveness in Prepositus Hypoglossi Neurons [PDF]
, 2005 To maintain horizontal eye position on a visual target after a saccade, extraocular motoneurons need a persistent (tonic) neural activity, called "eye-position signal," generated by prepositus hypoglossi (PH) neurons.

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

Changes in Striatal N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) Stimulation of Dopamine Release and Receptor Subunit Expression During Expression of and Recovery from MPTP-Induced Parkinsonism [PDF]
, 2001 Normal and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)-treated cats were used to examine changes in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor function.

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and epilepsy are often associated. Increasing evidence highlights a pivotal role for pathogenic variants in genes encoding synaptic scaffolding proteins. Within this group, TANC2 has recently been implicated in intellectual developmental disorder with autistic features and language delay, with or ...
