Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021 Epilepsy is a neurological disorder of genetic or environmental origin characterized by recurrent spontaneous seizures. A rodent model of temporal lobe epilepsy is induced by a single administration of pilocarpine, a non-selective cholinergic muscarinic ...

RGS4 regulates partial agonism of the M2 muscarinic receptor-activated K+ currents. [PDF]
, 2014 Partial agonists are used clinically to avoid overstimulation of receptor-mediated signalling, as they produce a submaximal response even at 100% receptor occupancy.

Rapamycin attenuates acute seizure-induced astrocyte injury in mice in vivo [PDF]
, 2017 Astrocytes have been implicated in epileptogenesis and seizure-induced brain injury. Pathological studies reveal a variety of structural abnormalities in astrocytes, such as vacuolization and astrogliosis.

Effect of eugenol on lithium-pilocarpine model of epilepsy: behavioral, histological, and molecular changes [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2017 Objective(s): Epilepsy establishment gives rise to biochemical and morphological changes in the hippocampus. Oxidative stress, morphological changes, and mossy fiber sprouting (MFS) in the hippocampus underpin the epilepsy establishment.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 Epilepsy and malnutrition constitute two worldwide health problems affecting behavior and brain function. The cholinergic agonist pilocarpine (300–380 mg/kg; single administration) reproduces the human type of temporal lobe epilepsy in rats.

Early Gabapentin Treatment during the Latency Period Increases Convulsive Threshold, Reduces Microglial Activation and Macrophage Infiltration in the Lithium-Pilocarpine Model of Epilepsy [PDF]
, 2017 The lithium-pilocarpine model of epilepsy reproduces several features of temporal lobe epilepsy in humans, including the chronological timeline of an initial latency period followed by the development of spontaneous seizures. Epilepsy therapies in humans

Epileptic high-frequency network activity in a model of non-lesional temporal lobe epilepsy [PDF]
, 2010 High-frequency cortical activity, particularly in the 250–600 Hz (fast ripple) band, has been implicated in playing a crucial role in epileptogenesis and seizure generation. Fast ripples are highly specific for the seizure initiation zone.

Effect of oxidative stress on ABC transporters: contribution to epilepsy pharmacoresistance [PDF]
, 2017 Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting around 1%-2% of population worldwide and its treatment includes use of antiepileptic drugs to control seizures. Failure to respond to antiepileptic drug therapy is a major clinical problem and over expression
