Amygdala and hippocampus dialogue with neocortex during human sleep and wakefulness.

Abstract: Previous studies have described synchronic electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns of the background activity that is characteristic of several vigilance states.

Study Objectives: To explore whether the background synchronous activity of the amygdala-hippocampal-neocortical circuit is modified during sleep in the delta, theta, alpha, sigma, beta, and gamma bands characteristic of each sleep state.

Methods: By simultaneously recording intracranial and noninvasive scalp EEG (10-20 system) in epileptic patients who were candidates for neurosurgery, we explored synchronous activity among the amygdala, hippocampus, and neocortex during wakefulness (W), Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM), and Rapid-Eye Movement (REM) sleep.

Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Current Status and Future Trends.

A comparative analysis of the targets for deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat refractory temporal lobe epilepsy and the rationale for its use is presented, with an emphasis on the latency to obtain the significant antiepileptic effect and the long-term seizure control. The analysis includes consideration of surgical techniques currently used to optimize antiseizure effects and decrease surgical risks. Seizure control is similar for programed DBS and DBS responsive to abnormal cortical or subcortical electroencephalogram (EEG) activity.

Optimizing deep brain stimulation for the treatment of drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy: a pilot study.

Objective: The authors sought to determine the antiseizure effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the parahippocampal cortex (PHC) for treatment of drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE).

Methods: After a 3-month baseline period, 6 adult patients with drug-resistant MTLE and hippocampal sclerosis (HS) had stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)-DBS electrodes implanted at the PHC for identification of the seizure onset zone (SOZ). Patients entered an 8-month, randomized, double-blind protocol for DBS, followed by a 12-month open-phase study.

Clinical evaluation of antiseptic mouth rinses to reduce salivary load of SARS-CoV-2.

Most public health measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic are based on preventing the pathogen spread, and the use of oral antiseptics has been proposed as a strategy to reduce transmission risk. The aim of this manuscript is to test the efficacy of mouthwashes to reduce salivary viral load in vivo. This is a multi-centre, blinded, parallel-group, placebo-controlled randomised clinical trial that tests the effect of four mouthwashes (cetylpyridinium chloride, chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine and hydrogen peroxide) in SARS-CoV-2 salivary load measured by qPCR at baseline and 30, 60 and 120 min after the mouthrinse.

Olfactory function in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy; correlation of functional magnetic resonance imaging for olfaction with the laterality of the epileptic focus.

Unlabelled: The olfactory function shares the same cerebral structures as those involved in the origin and propagation of focal temporal lobe seizures. Likewise, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows the study of olfactory function. This suggests that by quantitatively studying the olfactory function with an olfactory paradigm through fMRI it is possible to identify the functional alteration produced by the epileptic focus.

New Horizons in Temporal Lobe Seizure Control.

In patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, high-frequency, low-amplitude electrical stimulation (ES) was applied during 3 weeks through contacts of intracranial electrodes that defined the epileptogenic zone. This subacute ES induced cessation of spontaneous seizures, decreased the number of EEG interictal spikes, caused a 10-fold increase in threshold to induce postdischarges, and showed a profound decrease in regional blood flow of the stimulated area in SPECT studies. Autoradiography analysis of surgical specimens from these patients demonstrated increased expression of benzodiazepine receptors and in gamma-aminobutyric acid content, particularly in the parahippocampal cortex.

Centromedian Nucleus and Epilepsy.

Centromedian thalamic nucleus is an intralaminar nucleus with vast connectivity to cerebral cortex and basal ganglia. It receives afferents from the brain stem through the central tegmental tract and is part of the diffuse thalamic projection system. Because the reticulothalamic system has been related to initiation and propagation of epileptic activity (centroencephalic theory of epilepsy), deep brain stimulation has been proposed to interfere with seizure genesis or propagation.

Cannabidiol Acts at 5-HT Receptors in the Human Brain: Relevance for Treating Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

Experimental evidence indicates that cannabidiol (CBD) induces anxiolytic and antiepileptic effects through the activation of 5-HT receptors. These receptors are coupled to G proteins and induce inhibitory effects. At present, the interaction of CBD with 5-HT receptors in the human brain is unknown.

Radiofrequency ablation of the centromedian thalamic nucleus in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy.

Objective: To determine the usefulness and efficacy of radiofrequency ablations (RFA) of the Centromedian thalamic nucleus (CMN) to control primarily generalized or multifocal seizures in refractory epilepsy.

Methods: Six patients with clinical diagnosis of multifocal or primarily generalized drug-resistant epilepsy were included. Bilateral RFA of the CMN was performed through a monopolar 1.

Electrical Stimulation of Subiculum for the Treatment of Refractory Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy with Hippocampal Sclerosis: A 2-Year Follow-Up Study.

Introduction: Evidence has been provided that the subiculum may play an important role in the generation of seizures. Electrical stimulation at this target has been reported to have anticonvulsive effects in kindling and pilocarpine rat models, while in a clinical study of hippocampal deep brain stimulation (DBS), contacts closest to the subiculum were associated with a better anticonvulsive effect.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of electrical stimulation of the subiculum in patients with refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) who have hippocampal sclerosis (HS).

Familial mesial temporal lobe epilepsy in Mexico: Inheritance pattern and clinical features.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to determine the inheritance pattern by which familial mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (FMTLE) is segregated in Mexican families, and to identify if there was an association between the clinical characteristics and the inheritance pattern.

Method: We included a total of 25 families with two or more members affected with MTLE during two years and elaborated a family pedigree for each family. The inheritance pattern was classified as autosomal dominant (AD) or autosomal recessive (AR), considering the affected members.

Quantitative Analysis of [18F]FFMZ and [18F]FDG PET Studies in the Localization of Seizure Onset Zone in Drug-Resistant Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

Background: Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in epilepsy is an in vivo technique that allows the localization of a possible seizure onset zone (SOZ) during the interictal period. Stereo-electro-encephalography (SEEG) is the gold standard to define the SOZ. The objective of this research was to evaluate the accuracy of PET imaging in localizing the site of SOZ compared with SEEG.

Electrical activity of the human amygdala during all-night sleep and wakefulness.

Objective: The aim of the present work was to characterize the dynamics of the human amygdala across the different sleep stages and during wakefulness.

Methods: Simultaneous intracranial electrical recordings of the amygdala, hippocampus, and scalp electroencephalography during spontaneous sleep polysomnography in four patients suffering from epilepsy were analyzed.

Results: Power spectrum of the amygdala revealed no differences between rapid eye movement (REM) and wakefulness for all frequencies except higher power at 9 Hz during wakefulness and some low Gamma frequencies.

Prelemniscal Lesion for Selective Improvement of Parkinson Disease Tremor.

Background: Selective improvement of symptoms may be required when treating Parkinson disease (PD) patients with a predominantly monosymptomatic clinical picture.

Objective: To define a target in prelemniscal radiation fibers (Raprl) related to the physiopathology of tremor evidenced by tractography.

Case Report: We report a patient with predominant unilateral rest and postural tremor, diagnosed as PD based on 80% improvement induced by the administration of L-DOPA/carbidopa, subsequently complicated by motor fluctuations, L-DOPA dyskinesia, and a reduced ON period.

Association of white matter diffusion characteristics and cognitive deficits in temporal lobe epilepsy.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between cognitive performance and white matter (WM) integrity in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) with mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS).

Methods: We included 26 patients with TLE (10 right, 16 left onset) as well as 24 healthy controls matched for age, gender, and years of education. In addition to quantitative hippocampal volume and transverse relaxation (T2) evaluation, whole-brain WM was analyzed using fractional anisotropy (FA) maps, derived from the diffusion tensor model.

Human amygdala activation during rapid eye movements of rapid eye movement sleep: an intracranial study.

The amygdaloid complex plays a crucial role in processing emotional signals and in the formation of emotional memories. Neuroimaging studies have shown human amygdala activation during rapid eye movement sleep (REM). Stereotactically implanted electrodes for presurgical evaluation in epileptic patients provide a unique opportunity to directly record amygdala activity.

Unilateral Stimulation of Prelemniscal Radiations for the Treatment of Acral Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease: Long-Term Results.

Background: Prelemniscal radiations (Raprl) have been proposed as a target for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. We evaluated effectiveness of this target through UPDRS-III in patients treated with Raprl deep brain stimulation (Raprl-DBS) and followed from 24 to 48 months.

Methods: Nineteen patients in Hoehn-Yahr stages II-III were implanted with tetrapolar deep brain stimulation electrodes in Raprl contralateral to the extremities with more prominent symptoms.

Pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy modifies histamine turnover and H3 receptor function in the human hippocampus and temporal neocortex.

Experiments were designed to evaluate the tissue content of tele-methylhistamine (t-MeHA) and histamine as well as H3 receptor (H3 Rs) binding and activation of the heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide binding αi/o proteins (Gαi/o) coupled to these receptors in the hippocampus and temporal neocortex of patients (n = 10) with pharmacoresistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Patients with MTLE showed elevated tissue content of t-MeHA in the hippocampus. Analyses revealed that a younger age at seizure onset was correlated with a higher tissue content of t-MeHA, lower H3 R binding, and lower efficacy of Gαi/o protein activation in the hippocampus.

Optimizing Prelemniscal Radiations as a Target for Motor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease Treatment.

Objective: To better define prelemniscal radiations (Raprl) as a target for the control of tremor and rigidity in Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: A total of 36 deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes were stereotactically implanted in Raprl contralateral to the extremities to be treated. Effects on symptoms were evaluated using UPDRS-III before and after DBS, and significance was determined using the Wilcoxon test.

Alterations of 5-HT1A receptor-induced G-protein functional activation and relationship to memory deficits in patients with pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy.

The 5-hydroxytryptamine-1A (5-HT1A) receptors are known to be involved in the inhibition of seizures in epilepsy. Moreover, studies propose a role for the 5-HT1A receptor in memory function; it is believed that the higher density of this receptor in the hippocampus plays an important role in its regulation. Positron emission tomography (PET) studies in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) have demonstrated that a decrease in 5-HT1A receptor binding in temporal regions may play a role in memory impairment.
