Do interictal spikes sustain seizures and epileptogenesis?
Interictal spiking is seen in the EEG of epileptic patients between seizures. To date, the roles played by interictal events in seizure occurrence and in epileptogenesis remain elusive. While interictal spikes may herald the onset of electrographic seizures, experimental data indicate that hippocampus-driven interictal events prevent seizure precipitation. Even less clear than the role of inter...
متن کاملOrganotypic hippocampal slice cultures.
The hippocampus, a component of the limbic system, plays important roles in long-term memory and spatial navigation. Hippocampal neurons can modify the strength of their connections after brief periods of strong activation. This phenomenon, known as long-term potentiation (LTP) can last for hours or days and has become the best candidate mechanism for learning and memory. In addition, the well ...
متن کاملPI3K-Akt signaling activates mTOR-mediated epileptogenesis in organotypic hippocampal culture model of post-traumatic epilepsy.
mTOR is activated in epilepsy, but the mechanisms of mTOR activation in post-traumatic epileptogenesis are unknown. It is also not clear whether mTOR inhibition has an anti-epileptogenic, or merely anticonvulsive effect. The rat hippocampal organotypic culture model of post-traumatic epilepsy was used to study the effects of long-term (four weeks) inhibition of signaling pathways that interact ...
متن کاملSignificant glial alterations in response to iron loading in a novel organotypic hippocampal slice culture model
Aberrant iron deposition in the brain is associated with neurodegenerative disorders including Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. To study the collective response to iron loading, we have used hippocampal organotypic slices as a platform to develop a novel ex vivo model of iron accumulation. We demonstrated differential uptake and toxicity of iron after 12 h exposu...
متن کاملESI and fMRI of interictal and ictal epileptic discharges
A major challenge in planning and performing resective surgery in drug-resistant epilepsy is the accurate identification of the epileptogenic zone. Currently, intracranial EEG is considered to be the most reliable preresective functional localisation method. Our objective is to non-invasively localise the epileptogenic zone using simultaneous high-density EEG source imaging (ESI) and fMRI of in...
