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 ...

Do Human Rights Work? Evidence From Prison Death Investigations in Scotland
ABSTRACT It seems self‐evident that countries which have embraced human rights would have better human rights compliance. This article examines this assumption in prison death investigations in Scotland (called fatal accident inquiries or FAIs). The right to life (Article 2 ECHR) includes a procedural right to an effective investigation of deaths ...

Theorizing Family Rituals: A Family Systems Model
ABSTRACT Family rituals are universal and spontaneous events carried out by families worldwide. The meaning associated with family rituals can greatly benefit individuals and families. A robust body of research, coupled with ongoing theoretical developments, has paved the way for family rituals to become a well‐established construct within family ...

Abstract The leading cause of epilepsy‐related mortality is sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), resulting from seizure‐induced cardiorespiratory arrest by mechanisms that remain unresolved. Mutations in ion channel genes expressed in both brain and heart represent SUDEP risk factors because they can disrupt neural and cardiac rhythms ...

Abstract figure legend The Kcna1 knockout mouse model of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) exhibits sex‐specific differences in SUDEP risk. Female mice exhibit a lower SUDEP risk than males, despite similar seizure characteristics and interictal cardiac function across sexes.

Gene therapy for epilepsy: An emerging, promising approach for a serious neurological disorder
Abstract Gene therapy is emerging as a groundbreaking strategy for treating epilepsy, offering new hope to patients who do not respond to conventional medications. Despite advancements in anti‐seizure treatments, nearly 30%–40% of individuals with epilepsy continue to experience uncontrolled seizures, highlighting the urgent need for more effective and

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy.
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is the most common category of seizure-related death for patients who develop chronic epilepsy, accounting for up to 17% of epilepsy deaths. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is defined as a sudden, unexpected, non-accidental death in an individual with epilepsy with or without evidence of a seizure having occurred

Abstract Objectives Valproate is a highly effective antiseizure medication but carries significant teratogenic and neurodevelopmental risks to offspring if used during pregnancy. A shared decision‐making (SDM) approach is recommended to guide clinician/patient discussions on valproate suitability for women with pregnancy potential.

A complex network perspective on brain disease
ABSTRACT If brain anatomy and dynamics have a complex network structure as it has become standard to posit, it is reasonable to assume that such a structure should play a key role not only in brain function but also in brain dysfunction. However, exactly how network structure is implicated in brain damage and whether at least some pathologies can be ...
