On the cellular and network bases of epileptic seizures

TL;DR: Although epileptic syndromes and their causes are diverse, the cellular mechanisms of seizure generation appear to fall into only two categories: rhythmic or tonic "runaway" excitation or the synchronized and rhythmic interplay between excitatory and inhibitory neurons and membrane conductances.

Anticonvulsant and antiepileptic actions of 2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose in epilepsy models

TL;DR: The effects of limiting carbohydrate availability by reducing glycolysis using the Glycolytic inhibitor 2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose (2DG) in experimental models of seizures and epilepsy are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

cDNA profiling of epileptogenesis in the rat brain.

TL;DR: Assessment of hippocampal gene expression during epileptogenesis indicated that 37 genes were altered in the 1‐day group, 12 in the 4-day group and 14 in the 14‐day epilepsy group, while assessment of temporal lobe gene expression indicated 42 genes with altered expression, which are involved in neuronal plasticity, gliosis, organization of the cytoskeleton or extracellular matrix, and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Future directions for epilepsy research.

TL;DR: Integrated approaches, such as coupling imaging with electrophysiology, are central to progress in localizing regions of epilepsy development in people at risk and better seizure prediction and treatment for people with epilepsy.
