Shuo-Bin Jou et al.
Seizure, 22(3), 221-229 (2013-01-15)
Bilateral electrical stimulation of anterior nuclei of thalamus (ANT) has shown promising effects on epileptic seizures. However, bilateral implantation increases the risk of surgical complications and side effects. This study was undertaken to access the effectiveness of a stimulation paradigm
Kathleen Heng et al.
Epilepsia, 54(9), 1535-1541 (2013-07-16)
The role of granule cell axon (mossy fiber) sprouting in temporal lobe epileptogenesis is unclear and controversial. Rapamycin suppresses mossy fiber sprouting, but its reported effects on seizure frequency are mixed. The present study used high-dose rapamycin to more completely
Manuela Mazzuferi et al.
Annals of neurology, 74(4), 560-568 (2013-05-21)
Epigenetic mechanisms involved in transcriptional regulation of multiple molecular pathways are potentially attractive therapeutic interventions for epilepsy, because single target therapies are unlikely to provide both anticonvulsant and disease-modifying effects. A selection of epilepsy-related gene expression data sets were retrieved
Linda Holtman et al.
Epilepsia, 54(4), 589-595 (2013-02-13)
Brain inflammation occurs during epileptogenesis and may contribute to the development and progression of temporal lobe epilepsy. Recently, several studies have indicated that seizures may also increase specific blood plasma cytokine levels in animal models as well as in human
Olav B Smeland et al.
Journal of cerebral blood flow and metabolism : official journal of the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 33(7), 1090-1097 (2013-04-25)
Although certain metabolic characteristics such as interictal glucose hypometabolism are well established for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), its pathogenesis still remains unclear. Here, we performed a comprehensive study of brain metabolism in a mouse model of TLE, induced by pilocarpine-status
