Anxiogenic Effect of Cholecystokinin in the Dorsal Periaqueductal Gray [PDF]
Systemic administration of cholecystokinin (CCK) fragments produces anxiogenic effects. The dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) has been related to anxiety and panic reactions. The objective of this study was to investigate a possible anxiogenic effect of CCK-8 microinjected into the dPAG.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments
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.
