Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is a common neurological emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. SE is classified as refractory when it persists despite benzodiazepine and second‐line antiseizure medication. Managing refractory SE in the intensive care setting often requires high doses of sedative drugs, which can induce ...

Abstract Objective Absence epilepsy is characterized by brief but frequent seizures with loss of consciousness. Existing treatments, which come with heavy side effects, are only partially effective and do not address the associated comorbidities, including cognitive and social deficits.

Spreading depolarization and its influence on epileptiform activity
Abstract Spreading depolarization (SD) is a transient disruption of electrographic activity that slowly propagates through the gray matter by chemical contiguity, and it is characterized by a large depolarization of neurons and glial cells. SD, which is associated with massive changes in ion homeostasis, including extreme increases in [K+]o, was shown ...

Genetic risk factor identification for common epilepsies guided by integrative omics data analysis
Abstract Objective Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs) comprise the most common genetically determined epilepsy syndromes, following a complex mode of inheritance. Although many important common and rare genetic factors causing or contributing to these epilepsies have been identified in the past decades, many features of the genetic architecture are ...

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