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 Mechanisms Underlying Crayfish Steering Behaviour as an Equilibrium Response
1. When the crayfish Procambarus is rolled with legs not upon a substratum, uropod opener muscles on the lifted side are activated in co-contraction whereas antagonistic closer muscles on the same side are all relaxed simultaneously. The closers are activated and the openers are relaxed on the lowered side. 2. This reciprocal pattern is also observed in the motor neurone activity: the contracti...
متن کاملThe Role of Astrocytes in Epileptogenesis
Epilepsy is a major neurological disorder that affects 0.5-2.0% of the global population (Hauser, 1998; Picot et al.; 2008). The term “epilepsy” likely encompasses a number of various etiological and pathophysiological processes. The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) has classified the epilepsies as being either focal or generalized. In all likelihood, this classification implies dif...
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 کاملMechanisms underlying hypoxia-induced neuronal apoptosis.
In vivo models of cerebral hypoxia-ischemia have shown that neuronal death may occur via necrosis or apoptosis. Necrosis is, in general, a rapidly occurring form of cell death that has been attributed, in part, to alterations in ionic homeostasis. In contrast, apoptosis is a delayed form of cell death that occurs as the result of activation of a genetic program. In the past decade, we have lear...
