Interplay of epilepsy and long-term potentiation: implications for memory.
Front Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Neurophysiology, Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía "Manuel Velasco Suárez", Mexico City, Mexico.
The interplay between long-term potentiation (LTP) and epilepsy represents a crucial facet in understanding synaptic plasticity and memory within neuroscience. LTP, a phenomenon characterized by a sustained increase in synaptic strength, is pivotal in learning and memory processes, particularly in the hippocampus. This review delves into the intricate relationship between LTP and epilepsy, exploring how alterations in synaptic plasticity mechanisms akin to those seen in LTP contribute to the hyperexcitable state of epilepsy.

Division of Pediatric Neurology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, 8th Floor Faculty Pavilion, 4401 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15224, United States. Electronic address:
Purpose: Responsive neurostimulation of the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus (CM RNS) is being investigated for treatment of drug-resistant generalized epilepsy with promising results. The aim of this study is to report outcomes of seven patients with pediatric-onset drug-resistant generalized epilepsy, including both genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), who underwent treatment with bilateral CM RNS.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for patients with drug-resistant generalized epilepsy who underwent treatment with bilateral CM RNS at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh from 2020 to 2022.
Hyperphosphorylated Tau and Cognition in Epilepsy.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Department of Epileptology, University Hospital Bonn (UKB), 53127 Bonn, Germany.
In light of the growing interest in the bidirectional relationship between epilepsy and dementia, this review aims to provide an overview of the role of hyperphosphorylated tau (pTau) in cognition in human epilepsy. A literature search identified five relevant studies. All of them examined pTau burden in surgical biopsy specimens from patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

: Myoclonus is already associated with a wide variety of drugs and systemic conditions. As new components are discovered, more drugs are suspected of causing this disabling abnormal involuntary movement. This systematic review aims to assess the medications associated with drug-induced myoclonus (DIM).

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are a group of neuropediatric diseases associated with epileptic seizures, severe delay or regression of psychomotor development, and cognitive and behavioral deficits. What sets DEEs apart is their complex interplay of epilepsy and developmental delay, often driven by genetic factors. These two aspects influence one another but can develop independently, creating diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
