The Combined Effect of Aerobic Exercise and α-Pinene on Pentylenetetrazole-Induced Seizure in Male Rats

open access: yesCaspian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 2022
Background: Seizure is due to the abnormal electric activity of neurons in the brain. Because of the side effects of synthetic drugs, plant medicines can be used instead to control seizures.

Investigation of the Effect of Anakinra on Pentylenetetrazole-Induced Epileptic Seizures in Mice

open access: yesAhi Evran Medical Journal, 2021
Purpose: Disruption of the balance between gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate in the brain is one of the important factors contributing to seizure formation and epileptogenesis.

The Mechanism Underlying the Abnormal Expression of α‐Synuclein in the Cortical Lesions of Patients With FCD Type IIb and TSC

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
The mTOR/GLT‐1 pathway abnormality induces α‐synucleinopathy, contributing to seizures in FCD lesions, which were rescued by treatment with the mTOR inhibitor Rapa or the GLT‐1 enhancer Cef. Intracerebroventricular α‐syn administration attenuated PTZ‐induced seizures in FCD models.

Long-term l-NAME treatment potentiates the blood–brain barrier disruption during pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures in rats

open access: yes, 2006
We investigated whether the severity of blood-brain barrier disruption caused by pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures is modified by long-term nitric oxide synthase inhibition in rats.

Neuronal hyperexcitability: A key to unraveling hippocampal synaptic dysfunction in Lafora disease

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 1449-1468, March 2026.
Abstract Background and Objective Lafora disease (LD) is a rare progressive disorder caused by mutations in the EPM2A or EPM2B genes, characterized by the accumulation of Lafora bodies, drug‐resistant epilepsy, and cognitive decline. To investigate the early molecular mechanisms of LD, we studied electrophysiological changes in the dentate gyrus (DG ...

The opioid antagonist naltrexone decreases seizure‐like activity in genetic and chemically induced epilepsy models

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, 2021
Objective A significant number of epileptic patients fail to respond to available anticonvulsive medications. To find new anticonvulsive medications, we evaluated FDA‐approved drugs not known to be anticonvulsants.

Clock gene dysregulation in epilepsy: A systematic review

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 53-77, February 2026.
Abstract Objective Epileptic seizures show a rhythmic pattern, being more frequent at particular times of the day (e.g., only occurring during sleep), suggesting a role of the circadian rhythm. Clock genes regulate the circadian rhythm and might be involved in the pathophysiology of epilepsy.
