Glutamate is the brain's main excitatory neurotransmitter. Glutamatergic neurons primarily compose basic neuronal networks, especially in the cortex. An imbalance of excitatory and inhibitory activities may result in epilepsy or other neurological and psychiatric conditions. Among glutamate receptors, AMPA receptors are the predominant mediator...

PURPOSE: To report the identification of the T1174S SCN1A (NaV 1.1) mutation in a three-generation family with both epileptic and familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) phenotypes and clarify the pathomechanism. METHODS: The five affected individuals underwent detailed clinical analyses. Mutation analyses was performed by direct sequencing of...

Objective: There are few comparative data on the third-generation antiseizure medications (ASMs). We aimed to assess and compare the effectiveness of brivaracetam (BRV), eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL), lacosamide (LCM), and perampanel (PER) in people with epilepsy (PWE). Efficacy and tolerability were compared as secondary objectives. Methods:...

Background and ObjectivesEyelid myoclonia (EM) with absences (EMA) is a generalized epilepsy syndrome with a prognosis and clinical characteristics that are still partially undefined. We investigated electrodinical endophenotypes and long-term seizure outcome in a large cohort of patients with EMA.MethodsIn this multicenter retrospective study,...
