Uncoupling PIP2-calmodulin regulation of Kv7.2 channels by an assembly destabilizing epileptogenic mutation.
We show that the combination of an intracellular bi-partite calmodulin (CaM)-binding site and a distant assembly region affect how an ion channel is regulated by a membrane lipid. Our data reveal that regulation by phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate (PIP2) and stabilization of assembled Kv7.2 subunits by intracellular coiled-coil regions far from the membrane are coupled molecular processes....
متن کاملCortical ependymoma: an unusual epileptogenic lesion.
OBJECT Supratentorial cortical ependymomas (CE) are rare, with 7 cases reported. The lesions, typically occurring in the superficial cortex in young adults and associated with a history of seizures, are not fully characterized. Furthermore, their relationship with the recently described angiocentric glioma (AG) is still being debated. This study was undertaken to summarize the authors' experien...
متن کاملSymptomatic epileptogenic lesions.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The main aim of this study is to prove the association of seizure types with the MRI findings of the brain (etiological factor). Also, to prove which type of lesion is mostly represented in which age-group, and with which type of seizure. METHODS A total of 100 patients with symptomatic epilepsy, aged from 16 to 80 years, were hospitalized at the Neurology Clinic or ...
متن کاملMeditation: Epileptogenic versus antiepileptic influence
To the Editor: Meditation is a widely adopted stress-relieving mental exercise associated with altered cognition and behavior. Recently, there has been debate [1,2] over the influence of meditation, and transcendental meditation (TM) in particular, on epilepsy. This debate was seemingly triggered by a view suggesting a potential epileptogenic influence of meditation [3], implying that long-term...
متن کاملThe epileptogenic zone: general principles.
Sir Victor Horsley, a British neurosurgeon, pioneered epilepsy surgery and, in 1886, published the reports of successful cortical resections that resulted in a significant reduction in epileptic seizures in three patients (Horsley, 1886). At that time, V. Horsley assisted by J.H. Jackson (epileptologist) and D. Ferrier (neurophysiologist), identified the region to be resected by the location of...
