Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In the 1980s particular endogenous metabolites of progesterone and of deoxycorticosterone were revealed to be potent, efficacious, positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of the GABAA receptor (GABAAR).

A guide to neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromodulation is approved for the treatment of drug‐resistant epilepsy. It has been increasingly utilized over the past two decades with the approval of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in addition to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)—particularly in patients who are not deemed to be good resective surgical ...

Inroads into epilepsy through high‐frequency oscillations: Achievements and benchmark areas for improvement

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐frequency oscillations (HFOs) were discovered more than 20 years ago, and since then they have been studied intensively in the context of epilepsy. HFOs encompass a broad spectrum of oscillations, typically ranging from 80 Hz to several kHz, that include both normal and pathological oscillations, documented in people with epilepsy and ...

Exploring pathways leading to drug‐resistant epilepsy for patients with cryptogenic new onset refractory status epilepticus

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cryptogenic new onset refractory status epilepticus (cNORSE) carries high risks of long‐term disability and post‐NORSE epilepsy, but mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to assess the predictive value of inflammatory and brain injury biomarkers and determine whether immune disturbances persist in the chronic phase. Methods We enrolled

Evolution of the European Medicines Agency clinical guidelines for epilepsy drug development between 2010 and 2025: A comparative analysis by the ILAE Task Force on Regulatory Affairs

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The latest European Medicines Agency (EMA) guideline on the clinical investigation of medicines to treat epileptic disorders was adopted by the EMA Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use in 2025. We compared this guideline with the previous version (2010), highlighting areas where significant revisions were introduced ...
