Objective: Seizures may occur in close temporal association with a stroke or after a variable interval. Moreover, epilepsy is often encountered in patients with leukoaraiosis. Although early post-stroke seizures have been studied extensively, less attention has been paid to post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) and to epilepsy associated with...

Introduction: Reflex seizures are epileptic events triggered by specific motor, sensory or cognitive stimulation. This comprehensive narrative review focuses on the role of genetic determinants in humans and animal models of reflex seizures and epilepsies. Methods: References were mainly identified through MEDLINE searches until August 2015 and...

At the present day, iron-based superconductors (IBS) can be considered as competitors of cuprates for the fabrication of superconducting cables for high field application in the presence of particle irradiation. In particular, it has been demonstrated that 11-IBS are very robust against proton irradiation. In this paper, we analyze the effect...

Background Previous studies suggest that different metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor subtypes are potential drug targets for treating absence epilepsy. However, no information is available on mGlu3 receptors. Objective To examine whether (i) changes of mGlu3 receptor expression/signaling are found in the somatosensory cortex and thalamus...
