Neuronal mechanisms of epileptogenesis
The primary purpose of this topic is to collect scientific contributions providing novel insights in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of epileptogenesis as potential targets for innovative therapeutic approaches aimed at preventing the chronic epileptic disorder. Prevention of chronic epileptic disorder with an appropriate intervention might represent the most ambitious goal in the clinica...
متن کاملNeuronal network models of epileptogenesis
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition, following some trigger, transforming a normal brain to one that produces recurrent unprovoked seizures. In the search for the mechanisms that best explain the epileptogenic process, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the epilepsies are network level disorders. In this review, we briefly describe the concept of neuronal networks and ...
متن کاملNeuronal mechanism of epileptogenesis in EL mouse
The convulsions of the EL mouse (EL) were described by Imaizumi et al. in 1954 and were established as epilepsy by Suzuki in 1976. The EL mouse has been kept as an inbred strain and is considered one of the best animal models originated in Japan. The mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant, and environmental risk factors for seizure occurrence are hypothesised to contribute to the polygenic b...
متن کاملEndothelial Cell- Astrocyte Interactions
Recent advances in cell biology open the way for studying aspects of blood-brain bamer (BBB) formation and function that have puzzled investigators since Ehrlich and Goldmann first described the barrier. Although the endothelial cells in the microvessels of all tissues appear to arise from common mesodermal precursors, considerable organ-to-organ variability exists in their ultrastructure and p...
متن کاملAltered astrocyte-neuronal interactions after hypoxia-ischemia in the neonatal brain in female and male rats.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Increased susceptibility to excitotoxicity of the neonatal brain after hypoxia-ischemia (HI) may be caused by limited capacity of astrocytes for glutamate uptake, and mitochondrial failure probably plays a key role in the delayed injury cascade. Male infants have poorer outcome than females after HI, possibly linked to differential intermediary metabolism. METHODS [1-(1...
