Article Synopsis
- * A study using a rat model induced with lithium-pilocarpine examined changes in the hippocampus, revealing 27 differentially expressed proteins related to synaptic plasticity and structure after 2 weeks of spontaneous seizures.
- * Findings showed significant upregulation of certain proteins and increased dendritic spines, suggesting that synaptic remodeling plays a key role in the development of TLE, offering insights for further research on synaptic plasticity in this condition.
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a common chronic neurological disease that is often invulnerable to anti-epileptic drugs. Increasing data have demonstrated that acetylcholine (ACh) and cholinergic neurotransmission are involved in the pathophysiology of epilepsy. Cytisine, a full agonist of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChRs) and a partial agonist of α4β2nAChRs, has been widely applied for smoking cessation and has shown neuroprotection in neurological diseases.

Baicalein possesses various pharmacological activities, including neuroprotection in neurodegenerative disease. However, whether baicalein is protective in the treatment of TLE is not determined.
