Epilepsy is seen historically as a disease of aberrant neuronal signaling manifesting as
seizures. With the discovery of numerous auto‐antibodies and the subsequent growth in …

The hippocampus is one of the most closely scrutinized brain structures in neuroscience.
While traditionally associated with memory and spatial cognition, in more recent years it has …

Objective: To describe a distinctive seizure semiology that closely associates with voltage‐
gated potassium channel (VGKC)‐complex/Lgi1 antibodies and commonly precedes the …

Classical paraneoplastic encephalitis syndromes with 'onconeural'antibodies directed to
intracellular antigens, and the recently described paraneoplastic or non-paraneoplastic …

The last three decades have seen major advances in the understanding of paraneoplastic
and idiopathic autoimmune disorders affecting the central nervous system (CNS). Neural …

The lesion-deficit model dominates neuropsychology. This is unsurprising given powerful
demonstrations that focal brain lesions can affect specific aspects of cognition. Nowhere is …

Autoimmune encephalitides constitute a diverse group of immune-mediated central nervous
system disorders mainly characterized by the presence of antibodies targeting neuronal or …

Seizures are recognized as a common manifestation of autoimmune limbic encephalitis and
multifocal paraneoplastic disorders, but accumulating evidence supports an autoimmune …

Background Voltage-gated potassium channel antibody-positive limbic encephalitis (VGKC+
LE) frequently improves with immunotherapy, although the optimum regimen is unknown …

Over the last decade multiple autoantigens located on the plasma membrane of neurons
have been identified. Neuronal surface antigens include molecules directly involved in …
