Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune CNS-disease characterized by inflammatory neurodegenerative events occurring with de- and remyelination. Recent evidence show that demyelinated neurons are less excitable than myelinated ones while at early stages of remyelination these neurons seem to be hyperexcitable. The latter is a transitory condition that, very likely, leads to impaired neuronal networ...

epilepsy is accompanied with a strong change in neuronal activity not only in excitatory (glutamatergic) and inhibitory (gabaergic) neurotransmission, but also in neuromodulatory agents. dopaminergic system, as an important neuromodulatory system of the brain, has significant effect on neuronal excitability. in addition, this system undergoes many changes in epileptic brain. understanding the e...

seizure may occur after mild traumatic brain injury (tbi), and the severity of tbi can be considered the most crucial factor for an increased risk of recurring seizures as well as for the development of posttraumatic epilepsy. however, the effect of seizures in epileptogenesis after mild tbi cannot yet be accurately confirmed. this study was designed to determine whether mild tbi increases seiz...

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease which disrupts the neuronal electrical activity. One-third of patients are resistant to treatment with available antiepileptic agents. The use of herbal medicine for treating several diseases including epilepsy is on the rise. Therefore, further investigation is required to verify the safety and effectiveness of Phytomedicine in treating diseases. The ...

Abstract Epilepsy is a common neurological disease caused by synchronous firing of hyperexcitable neurons. Currently, anti-epileptic drugs remain the main choice to control seizure, but 30% patients are resistant drugs, which calls for more research on new promising targets. Neuroinflammation closely associated with development epilepsy. As an important inflammatory factor, high mobility group ...
