Animal models of the epilepsies.

R S Fisher

Brain research. Brain research reviews, 14(3), 245-278 (1989-07-01)

The study of mechanisms of the epilepsies requires employment of animal models. Choice of a model system depends upon several factors, including the question to be studied, the type of epilepsy to be modelled, familiarity and convenience. Over 50 models

Probing the steric requirements of the γ-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase active site with fluorinated analogues of vigabatrin.

Jose I Juncosa et al.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry, 21(4), 903-911 (2013-01-12)

We have synthesized three analogues of 4-amino-5-fluorohexanoic acids as potential inactivators of γ-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT), which were designed to combine the potency of their shorter chain analogue, 4-amino-5-fluoropentanoic acid (AFPA), with the greater enzyme selectivity of the antiepileptic vigabatrin

Taurine is a crucial factor to preserve retinal ganglion cell survival.

Nicolas Froger et al.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 775, 69-83 (2013-02-09)

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are spiking neurons, which send visual information to the brain, through the optic nerve. RGC degeneration occurs in retinal diseases, either as a primary process or secondary to photoreceptor loss. Mechanisms involved in this neuronal degeneration
