Carbogen Inhalation Therapy for Epileptic Seizures: Mechanisms, Evidence, and Future Directions - CONCLUSIONS: Evidence supports carbogen's therapeutic promise and highlights the need for precise patient selection, controlled delivery, and comprehensive safety testing. Future research should develop biomarker-guided, closed-loop systems and test synergy with established ASMs to advance carbogen as a mechanism-based therapy within precision epilepsy care.
Medial pulvinar stereoelectroencephalographic biomarkers associated with deep brain stimulation response in focal drug-resistant epilepsy - Thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) represents an emerging therapeutic option for patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy who are ineligible for or have failed resective surgery. To optimize outcomes and guide DBS lead placement, thalamic stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) has been proposed. This monocentric retrospective study aimed to identify interictal and ictal SEEG biomarkers of th...
Current review on inducible nitric oxide synthase and Src tyrosine kinase inhibitors as disease-modifiers in preclinical models of epilepsy - Acute exposure to seizurogenic chemicals, such as organophosphates (OPs) or domoic acid (kainate analogue), can trigger status epilepticus (SE), marked by central (seizures) and, with OPs, peripheral effects due to irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The initial seizurogenic activity in the brain initiates a cascade of molecular and cellular changes, known as epileptogenesis...
Combined MRI morphometry and source imaging guide placement of stereo-EEG electrodes in focal epilepsy with subtle or absent lesions - CONCLUSION: In patients with focal epilepsy and subtle or absent lesions, sophisticated sEEG diagnostics guided by advanced multimodal imaging can successfully identify the seizure onset zone. When focal onset is confirmed and multifocal epilepsy is excluded through sEEG, subsequent epilepsy surgery often results in seizure-free outcomes.
Tuberous sclerosis complex, epilepsy, and the microbiota-gut-brain axis: a pilot study of shared and divergent microbial signatures - OBJECTIVE: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) presents with a broad clinical spectrum. While some individuals exhibit mild symptoms, most experience seizures and neuropsychiatric comorbidities. Emerging evidence suggests that both genetic and environmental factors, including gut microbiota, may influence epilepsy susceptibility. The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) is a key communication pathway ...

Brain signal irregularity may provide clues to understanding epileptic process -
Researchers propose a new method to differentiate signals from the epileptic focus from those recorded in other parts of the brain without the presence of an epileptic seizure. This technique may help detect epilepsy-induced features from these signals much quicker than conventional analysis techniques.
Breakthrough tech enables seizure localization in minutes - New research introduces a novel network analysis technology that uses minimally invasive resting state electrophysiological recordings to localize seizure onset brain regions and predict seizure outcomes in just 10 minutes.
Antidepressant use during pregnancy not linked to epilepsy in children - A new study suggests that antidepressant use by mothers during the first trimester of pregnancy does not increase the chances of epilepsy and seizures in babies.
