Background: To investigate the relevance of hyperperfusion on computerised perfusion imaging (CTP) in the emergency setting in people with non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) and previous stroke, to derive relevant aspects on the epileptogenic focus and the network recruited for NCSE propagation.
Methods: We enrolled consecutive adult patients with acute-onset NCSE and a previous stroke at a single institution undergoing CTP and EEG during symptoms. All patients underwent standard imaging including CT, CTP, CT angiograms and standard EEG within 30 min from hospital arrival.

Background: The etiology of status epilepticus (SE) in Tibet has not yet been reported. We aimed to establish the etiological baseline of SE in the Tibet Autonomous Region in China and compare it with a SE cohort from a regional neuroscience centre in Sichuan, Southwestern China to reveal whether there was a unique etiology distribution in the Tibetan region.
Methods: We retrospectively captured clinical data of patients diagnosed with SE in the People's Hospital of Xizang Autonomous Region from January 2015 to December 2020.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in dogs is a metabolic disorder of the central nervous system that occurs secondarily to liver dysfunctions, whether due to acquired or congenital causes. A portosystemic shunt is the presence of abnormal communications between the hepatic vessels (portal and suprahepatic veins). As a result of this, the blood brought from the digestive tract through the portal vein bypasses the liver, and the unmetabolized components of the portal bloodstream enter directly into systemic circulation, causing clinical symptoms of metabolic encephalopathy (HE).

Pathogenic variants in , encoding dynamin-like protein-1 (DRP1), cause a lethal encephalopathy. DRP1 defective function results in altered mitochondrial networks, characterized by elongated/spaghetti-like, highly interconnected mitochondria. We validated in yeast the pathogenicity of a de novo variant identified by whole exome sequencing performed more than 10 years after the patient's death.

Reactive astrogliosis and acidosis, common features of epileptogenic lesions, express a high level of astrocytic acid-sensing ion channel-1a (ASIC1a), a proton-gated cation channel and key mediator of responses to neuronal injury. This study investigates the role of astrocytic ASIC1a in cognitive impairment following epilepsy. Status epilepticus (SE) in C57/BL6 mice was induced using lithium-pilocarpine; the impact of ASIC1a on astrocytes was assessed using rAAV-ASIC1a-NC and rAAV-ASIC1a-shRNA, injected in the CA3 region of mice.
