▪ Abstract The highly interconnected networks of the mammalian forebrain can generate a
wide variety of synchronized activities, including those underlying epileptic seizures, which …

The questions of how a large population of neurons in the brain functions, how synchronized
firing of neurons is achieved, and what factors regulate how many and which neurons fire …

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. Although epilepsy can be
idiopathic, it is estimated that up to 50% of all epilepsy cases are initiated by neurological …

NEUROTRANSMISSION at most excitatory synapses in the brain operates through two
types of glutamate receptor termed α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate …

Although there are data on the duration of seizures in patients with refractory epilepsy, little
is known about the duration of seizures in nonrefractory epilepsy populations. In a …

Epilepsy, a disorder of recurrent seizures, is a common and frequently devastating
neurological condition. Available therapy is only symptomatic and often ineffective …

We have determined whether seizures generate an epileptogenic focus in distal structures
using an in vitro preparation composed of three independent chambers that accommodate …

Synaptic plasticity is the capacity generated by experience to modify the neural function and,
thereby, adapt our behaviour. Long‐term plasticity of glutamatergic and GABAergic …

Hypoxic encephalopathy is the most common cause of neonatal seizures and can lead to
chronic epilepsy. In rats at postnatal days 10–12 (P10–12), global hypoxia induces …
