CNS Inflammation and Epileptogenesis
An association between acute CNS infections and seizures is reported in the literature. The etiology of these seizures is, in some cases, precipitated by epileptogenic pathogenesis of the infectious agent in the brain parenchyma. A different etiology of seizures as a consequence of infections, independent of the infectious agent, relates to the inflammatory reaction. Thirdly, the febrile respon...
متن کاملCNS dendritic cells: critical participants in CNS inflammation?
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous population of migratory cells specialized for the uptake, processing, and presentation of antigen to T cells. They consist of a variety of mature subpopulations, classically divided into "lymphoid" and "myeloid" subsets. Although there likely exists significant plasticity and redundancy between DC subpopulations, unique differences have been noted in th...
متن کاملDual role of inflammation in CNS disease.
Inflammatory responses in the CNS have usually been perceived to cause or contribute to neuron injury. However, emerging evidence suggests that inflammatory reactions can also be neuroprotective. The nervous and immune systems employ overlapping mechanisms and shared mediators that promote cross-talk between the two systems. Immune cells, for example, produce not only neurodestructive molecules...
متن کاملNeurodegeneration and -protection in autoimmune CNS inflammation.
Neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) is the structural correlate of permanent neurological disability in patients. The histopathological features of neurodegeneration include destruction of axons as well as apoptotic cell death of neuronal cell bodies. Therapeutic efforts to control these clinically important aspects of MS pathology showed limited success so far. In this review article,...
متن کاملNeurotrauma and Inflammation: CNS and PNS Responses
Traumatic injury to the central nervous system (CNS) or the peripheral nervous system (PNS) triggers a cascade of events which culminate in a robust inflammatory reaction. The role played by inflammation in the course of degeneration and regeneration is not completely elucidated. While, in peripheral nerves, the inflammatory response is assumed to be essential for normal progression of Walleria...
