Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Epileptic drop attacks: More than just atonic seizures

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract “Drop attacks” are not officially defined by the International League Against Epilepsy. Seizures are characterized by a sudden loss of control over the trunk and posture, leading to falls and injuries, and resolving within a few seconds. Accurately diagnosing the type of seizure is usually difficult due to limitations in clinical documentation

Vagus nerve stimulation for the treatment of narcolepsy

Brain Stimulation
No study on neurostimulation in narcolepsy is available until now. Arousal- and wake-promoting effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) have been demonstrated in animal experiments and are well-known as side effects of VNS therapy in epilepsy and depression. The objective was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of VNS on daily sleepiness and cataplexies

Artificial intelligence in preclinical epilepsy research: Current state, potential, and challenges

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Preclinical translational epilepsy research uses animal models to better understand the mechanisms underlying epilepsy and its comorbidities, as well as to analyze and develop potential treatments that may mitigate this neurological disorder and its associated conditions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool across

Real‐world efficacy and safety of cannabidiol in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) is approved as adjunctive therapy for seizures associated with Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), although its role in other developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) remains unexplored.
