Fetal Pain Perception: Legislative Assertions and Developmental Neuroscience

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pain perception is a conscious experience, but neither pain nor consciousness is defined in the developing human fetus. Emergent consciousness may be regarded as a phenomenon that ultimately arises from an essential minimum of functional neuronal connectivity. Proposed U.S.

Executive functions and self‐limited epilepsy with centro‐temporal spikes: A scoping review

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Executive functions are a set of high‐level cognitive processes necessary for planning, organization, decision‐making, self‐control, and attention, and are carried out in the anterior frontal lobes. An impairment in executive functioning might present as difficulties in planning and organizing activities, in attention and concentration, in ...

Timing is everything: Expert opinion on researching epilepsy rhythms by the ILAE Task Force on Chronobiology

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent seizures, the hallmark of epilepsy, are influenced by rhythms operating over multiple timescales. Chronobiology is the study of biological timing that aims to explain temporal patterns of events like seizures. Fueled by recent advances in genetics, computational modeling, and device engineering, the chronobiology of epilepsy is now a

Chemogenetic inhibition of the medial prefrontal cortex reverses the effects of REM sleep loss on sucrose consumption

eLife, 2016
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep loss is associated with increased consumption of weight-promoting foods. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is thought to mediate reward anticipation.

Timing is everything: The effect of early‐life seizures on developing neuronal circuits subserving spatial memory

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Spatial memory, the aspect of memory involving encoding and retrieval of information regarding one's environment and spatial orientation, is a complex biological function incorporating multiple neuronal networks. Hippocampus‐dependent spatial memory is not innate and emerges during development in both humans and rodents.

Local Aspects of Avian Non-REM and REM Sleep

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Birds exhibit two types of sleep that are in many respects similar to mammalian rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep. As in mammals, several aspects of avian sleep can occur in a local manner within the brain.

Frontiers in EEG as a tool for the management of pediatric epilepsy: Past, present, and future

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) has evolved into an indispensable tool in pediatric epilepsy, fundamentally transforming the diagnosis, classification, and management of this condition. This review chronicles the historical journey of EEG from its groundbreaking inception to its current pivotal role in delineating distinct pediatric epilepsy ...

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 ...

Hypnotic and Sleep Quality–Enhancing Properties of Kavain in Sleep-Disturbed Rats

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
The present study was performed to investigate the effects of kavain on the sleep-wake cycle in comparison with that of rilmazafone and diphenhydramine using sleep-disturbed rats.

A prospective randomized crossover trial investigating melatonin versus sleep deprivation for sleep induction in nap electroencephalography

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Electroencephalography (EEG) plays a fundamental role in the diagnosis and classification of epilepsy, and inducing sleep during EEG can improve patient cooperation and enhance the detection of epileptiform activity. Despite its importance, there is currently no standardized approach for sleep induction in pediatric EEG recordings ...
