Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Multimodal approach to characterize surgically removed epileptogenic zone from patients with focal drug‐resistant epilepsy: From operating room to wet lab

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We have established a comprehensive sample handling protocol designed for the multiscale assessment of epileptogenic tissue. This protocol aims to identify novel therapeutic targets and enhance the diagnosis and stratification of patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy, thereby optimizing their treatment with anti‐seizure medications ...

Clock gene dysregulation in epilepsy: A systematic review

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
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.

Evolution of iGluR ligand specificity, polyamine regulation, and ion selectivity inferred from a placozoan epsilon receptor

Communications Biology
Epsilon ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are a recently defined clade of neurotransmitter receptors that are found in all major metazoan lineages that are distinct from α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), kainate, delta ...

D-AMINO ACID OXIDASE: A REVIEW [PDF]

, 2016
Over many years, D-serine and glycine were found to be the endogenous ligands for glycine-binding site for N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. D-serinebefore being used up by the cells undergoes oxidative deamination by the enzyme D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO)
