Epilepsy is a kind of brain dysfunction syndrome caused by so many reasons instead of a certain disease. Abnormal neuron discharge can cause epilepsy. Idiopathic epilepsy refers to epilepsy or epilepsy syndrome without any latent reasons but inherited trait. Idiopathic epilepsy is confirmed as an ion channelopathy at present. The first genemutation was found in idiopathic epilepsy in 1995, and a lot of genes coding either voltage-gated or ligand-gated ion channels have been found since then. In the present review, some new advances in research on ion channels dysfunction in idiopathic epilepsy are summarized.

Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is the most common neurological disease in dogs. Approximately 1/3 of dogs with IE are resistant to anti-seizure medications (ASMs). Because the diagnosis of IE is largely based on the exclusion of other diseases, it would be beneficial to indicate an IE biomarker to better understand, diagnose, and treat this disease.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) have found it be associated with drug resistance in epilepsy. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of SCN1A gene polymorphism in developing drug resistance in idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) patients, along with increased oxidative stress. The study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Delhi, India.

Background: Post-ictal (PI) clinical signs are a key defining stage of seizure manifestation in dogs. However, this phase remains poorly understood.
Objectives: To further characterize PI signs and their relation to other parts of a seizure, and understand the owner's perception of how PI signs affect the quality of life (QOL) of the dog.

This narrative review aims to identify and summarize existing research to better understand the pathophysiological and neuroanatomical bases of social cognition deficits in people with epilepsy. The neuroanatomical basis of social cognition was primarily examined in healthy subjects. In healthy individuals, social cognition is supported by a complex network of interconnected brain regions.

Objective: Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is the most common chronic neurological disease in dogs and an established natural animal model for human epilepsy types with genetic and unknown etiology. However, the metabolic pathways underlying IE remain largely unknown.
Methods: Plasma samples of healthy dogs (n = 39) and dogs with IE (n = 49) were metabolically profiled (n = 121 known target metabolites) and fingerprinted (n = 1825 untargeted features) using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry.
