Effect of high altitude on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of valproate in epileptic rats - CONCLUSION: High altitude not only exacerbate seizure severity but also significantly alter the PK and PD of VPA in epileptic rats. This study suggests that epilepsy patients rapidly entering high altitude regions may require an appropriate increase in dosage and enhanced PK/PD monitoring during VPA treatment to ensure clinical efficacy.

Shared Genetic Architecture of Epilepsy and Glioma Revealed by Mendelian Randomization: Identifying Prognostic Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets - CONCLUSION: These results reveal a common genetic architecture between glioma and epilepsy, offering candidate biomarkers and therapeutic strategies for the management of GRE.

Thyroid dysfunction and migraine across racial and age groups: A multinational cohort study - CONCLUSION: In this large, multinational real-world study, both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were independently associated with increased migraine prevalence across diverse racial and age groups. These results highlight thyroid dysfunction as an important comorbid condition in migraine and support further prospective and mechanistic investigation.

Histopathological Evidence of Neurodegenerative Pathology in Epilepsy: A Systematic Review - Epilepsy affects > 50 million people worldwide and is associated with a disproportionate burden of cognitive impairment. Emerging evidence suggests that neurodegenerative proteinopathies, particularly hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) and amyloid-β (Aβ), may contribute to cognitive dysfunction in people with epilepsy (PWE), even in the absence of dementia. However, the prevalence, distribution, a...

Integrative single-cell and spatial transcriptomics combined with machine learning to discover complement-associated biomarkers in temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis - Temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (TLE-HS) poses significant challenges in therapeutic management. While studies have demonstrated seizure-induced alterations in peripheral immune molecules, the complement system, a central component of immune function, remains insufficiently characterized at single-cell resolution and spatial distribution in TLE-HS. This study aimed to comprehe...

Risk of epilepsy in people with adult-onset hydrocephalus: insights from the UK Biobank - CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated a markedly increased risk of epilepsy in adult-onset hydrocephalus, independent of vascular and neurodegenerative comorbidities and not attributable to shunt-related complications. These findings underscore the importance of increased diagnostic vigilance, as seizures may be under-recognized in this population, and support further research to clarify mechanisms and ...

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.
