Maxime Lévesque et al.
Seizure, 25, 18-25 (2015-02-04)
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most prevalent type of partial epileptic disorders. In this study, we have analyzed the impact of levetiracetam (LEV) in the pilocarpine model of MTLE. Sprague-Dawley rats (n=19) were injected with pilocarpine (380 mg/kg
Manuela Mazzuferi et al.
Annals of neurology, 74(4), 560-568 (2013-05-21)
Epigenetic mechanisms involved in transcriptional regulation of multiple molecular pathways are potentially attractive therapeutic interventions for epilepsy, because single target therapies are unlikely to provide both anticonvulsant and disease-modifying effects. A selection of epilepsy-related gene expression data sets were retrieved
Shuo-Bin Jou et al.
Seizure, 22(3), 221-229 (2013-01-15)
Bilateral electrical stimulation of anterior nuclei of thalamus (ANT) has shown promising effects on epileptic seizures. However, bilateral implantation increases the risk of surgical complications and side effects. This study was undertaken to access the effectiveness of a stimulation paradigm
