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 ...

Local Field Potential‐Based Programming: A Proof‐of‐Concept Pilot Study

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Programming deep brain stimulation (DBS) is still based on a trial‐and‐error approach, often becoming a time‐consuming process for both treating physicians and patients. Several strategies have been proposed to streamline DBS programming, most of which are preliminary and mainly address Parkinson's disease, a condition readily ...

Neural bridging achieves transcutaneous regulation of vagus nerve function and treatment of depressive disorders

Neurotherapeutics
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) represents a neuromodulation technique that has shown potential in the treatment of various diseases. However, conventional VNS therapy is constrained by the requirement for implanted electrodes, primarily due to the ...

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

Heart Rate Variability Features as Predictors of Intermittent Theta‐Burst Stimulation Response in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Background Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with autonomic dysfunction as indicated by deficits in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. These abnormalities are expressed as elevated heart rate and reduced heart rate variability (HRV), respectively.

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

Human vagus nerve fascicular anatomy and its implications for targeted cardiac stimulation: a microCT segmentation and histological pilot anatomical study

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionThe functional anatomy of autonomic nerve fascicles has remained poorly understood. Building on prior evidence of organotopic organization in the pig cervical vagus nerve, this study examined the thoracic branches of the human vagus nerve ...

Real‐world effectiveness of highly purified cannabidiol in epilepsy associated with 15q11.2‐q13.1 duplication and deletion syndromes: A multicenter study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract This multicenter retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) in 22 patients with 15q11.2‐q13.1 duplication or deletion syndromes (15q‐DDS), including 12 with 15q duplication syndrome (dup15q) and 10 with Angelman syndrome (AS). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) age at CBD initiation was 14.5
