Epilepsy refers to a group of neurological disorders of varying aetiology, characterized by recurrent brain dysfunction that result from sudden excessive and disordered neuronal discharge. These ...

Some examples of mouse models in which astrocyte protein function is altered are detailed in Table 1. In addition to cellular hypertrophy and upregulation of specific genes associated with ...

We used genetically modified mice with deleted AQP4, TRPV4, or both channels. The global knockouts were crossbred with GFAP/EGFP mice with visualized astrocytes to elucidate the role of both channels ...

It tends to be most common in older populations. Additionally, one study found that more than 50% of reported incidents occur in patients with undiagnosed epilepsy. A prolonged episode of status ...

Microglial activation, astocytic proliferation, and proinflammatory cytokine production may promote seizures, further exacerbate epilepsy and cause subsequent degeneration of neurons, astrocytes ...

Absence seizures are a type of epilepsy. This is a condition that causes seizures. Seizures are caused by abnormal brain activity. These mixed messages confuse your brain and cause a seizure. An ...

People with epilepsy may need to take extra care when fasting. This information considers how fasting can affect epilepsy and who to go to for more advice. Fasting means not eating for a period of ...

We transduced mouse cortical astrocytes cultured from four litters of embryonic wildtype (WT) and connexin43 (Cx43) null mouse pups with lentiviral vector encoding hTERT and measured expression of ...

Depression and low mood are common in people with epilepsy. But there are ways to manage it and improve how you feel. This may have a positive effect on your epilepsy too. Everybody feels down from ...
