Downmodulation of potassium conductances induces epileptic seizures in cortical network models via multiple synergistic factors.
J Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Neuroscience, Brown University, Providence RI, USA.
Voltage-gated potassium conductances [Formula: see text] play a critical role not only in normal neural function, but also in many neurological disorders and related therapeutic interventions. In particular, in an important animal model of epileptic seizures, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) administration is thought to induce seizures by reducing [Formula: see text] in cortex and other brain areas. Interestingly, 4-AP has also been useful in the treatment of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injury, where it is thought to improve action potential propagation in axonal fibers.

Background: Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect motor neurons, neuromuscular junctions, and muscle fibers, resulting in symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and reduced mobility. These conditions significantly affect patients' quality of life and impose a substantial burden on caregivers. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a relatively common NMD in children that presents in various types with varying degrees of severity.

Background/aims: MOTS-c belongs to a group of mitochondrial peptides involved in metabolic processes in the body. This peptide has garnered increasing attention since its discovery in 2015 because of its potential to ameliorate metabolic parameters in animals with diabetes or insulin resistance. MOTS-c is involved in muscle metabolism; however, little is known about its role in fiber differentiation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOptical neural implants allow neuroscientists to access deep brain regions, enabling to decipher complex patterns of neural activity. In this field, the use of optical fibers is rapidly increasing, and the ability to generate high-quality metal patterns on their non-planar surface would further extend their application. Here, we propose to use alternating metal shielding and dielectric confinement to engineer the mode-division properties of tapered optical fiber neural implants.
