WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

A translational multimodal machine‐learning prototype predicting valproate response in epilepsy treatment

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects ~1% of the global population and often requires lifelong antiseizure medication (ASM) therapy. Valproic acid (VPA) is a commonly prescribed first‐line ASM, yet only approximately half of patients achieve sustained seizure freedom. Treatment selection remains largely empirical.

Recombinant glycine receptors: stoichiometry and kinetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Glycine receptors (GlyR) are anion-permeable channels that belong to the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel family. Different GlyR subtypes are known. The main synaptic form is thought to be α1β heteropentamers which mediate fast synaptic inhibition in ...

Add‐on treatment with vinpocetine reduces seizure frequency and improves comorbidities in patients with loss‐of‐function γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptor variants

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The semisynthetic compound vinpocetine has gained attention as a potential precision medicine for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies caused by loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes. As a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, case reports suggest that vinpocetine can

Modeling temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis in rats using the selective neurotoxin stable substance P‐saporin

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
On day 0 adult male and female rats were injected with Stable Substance P‐Saporin (SSP‐SAP) at 4 unilateral sites along the longitudinal axis of the dentate gyrus. Rats exhibited spontaneous electrographic and behavioral reactive seizures between days 4‐6. There was a progressive loss of CA1 and CA3 neurons and a progressive increase in astrocytes over

Paroxysmal slow waves mark ictal networks

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy diagnosis and treatment monitoring are hindered by the episodic, heterogeneous expression of seizures and by normal‐appearing scalp electroencephalography (EEG) in many patients. We previously described paroxysmal slow‐wave events (PSWEs), brief epochs of broadband slowing detectable on EEG in people with epilepsy.

Anterior cingulate cortex neuron subtypes differentially regulate seizures

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the regulatory roles of distinct neuronal subtypes within the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in acute seizures and to identify cell type‐specific mechanisms underlying seizure modulation in this region. Methods Acute seizure models were established in mice via pentylenetetrazol injection.

Sleep is differently modulated by basal forebrain GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
There is evidence that GABA plays a major role in sleep regulation. GABA(A) receptor agonists and different compounds interacting with the GABA(A) receptor complex, such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines, can interfere with the sleep/wake cycle. On the
