800x600 Background and Purpose: Few studies of psychopathology in patients with cognitive problems and refractory epilepsy (RE) have been performed . We aimed to assess depression, anxiety, and their determining factors in Bulgarian patients with RE and cognitive problems. Method s: We conduct ed a study based on questionnaires designed for people with intellectual disability (stigma scale, Glasgow Depression Scale, Glasgow Anxiety Scale) and a purposeful interview on clinical and social factors of 6 4 patients with RE and cognitive problems . Results : We found depression in 40.63% and anxiety in 71.43% of study participants. Depression correlated with female gender P < 0.01 ( c 2 = 6.48), seizure type P < 0.05 ( c 2 = 7.68), seizure severity P < 0.05 ( c 2 = 9.04), educational level P < 0.05 ( c 2 = 3.86), and stigma P < 0.01 ( c 2 = 12.57). Seizure severity, gender, stigma, and educational level proved to be predictors of depression on multivariate regression analysis P < 0.001 (F = 12.08). Anxiety correlated with seizure severity P < 0.05 ( c 2 = 8.65), focal neurological deficit P < 0.05 ( c 2 = 5.91), stigma P < 0.05 ( c 2 = 7.01), and depression P < 0.05 ( c 2 = 5.31). Seizure severity and focal neurological deficit were the only predictors of anxiety on multivariate regression analysis P < 0.001 (F = 6.35). Conclusions : W e have affirmed frequent anxiety and depression in patients with RE and cognitive problems and their clinical, social, and demographic determinants. The results from our study prove the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to these patients.

Reflex epilepsies are a rare, unusual, complex & bizarre group of epilepsies seen most commonly in adolescent females ,most probably due to the hyper synchronization & propagation of epileptic cortex which are connected to each other through functional network occurring in innocuous ways such as an olfactory stimuli or as common as a sensory, visual, somato-sensory or a proprioceptive stimuli either isolated or in combination. However, there could be other set of unusual, however more complex & well known precipitants such as praxis, listening to music or reading a book. These can be diagnosed through a combination of good clinical history, Video EEG monitoring & Imaging of the brain especially functional MRI, ictal SPECT. Avoiding exposure to inciting stimulus and adequate anti-epileptic medication, forms the corner stone of treatment of this condition.

Seizures complicate the hospital course of up to a quarter of patients suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Despite limited evidence supporting the role of antiepileptic medications, many practitioners prescribe AEDs with the notion that any clinical benefit likely outweighs the minimal and rare deleterious effects. Herein we underscore recently published results of a survey of expert clinicians on this topic. While there was disagreement regarding the necessity to offer pharmacologic prophylaxis, those practitioners that did endorse prophylaxis utilized levetiracetam with far greater frequency than any other AED. The authors indicate the importance and timeliness of a randomized trial investigating on the topic.

Periventricular nodular heterotopias (PNH) is a neuronal migration disorder characterized by nodules of gray matter located along the lateral ventricles, which can range from isolated single nodules to bilateral confluent nodules. This malformation of cortical development can be related genetic or extrinsic factors. Reading dysfluency, epilepsy and normal intelligence are main hallmark. PNH and overlying cortex integrate a (dis)functional network. In this review, we discuss the recent progress about pathogenes and epileptogenesis on PNH, and their participation in the processing of higher cortical functions.

There are between 20 and 30 drugs available for the treatment of seizures but despite this ~30% of the epilepsy population remains unresponsive to treatment. The underlying mechanisms behind drug resistance in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) have not been completely identified. The purpose of this study was to determine if distinct types of neuronal firing patterns occurring in human epileptic cortex are altered by carbamazepine (CBZ). We used whole-cell patch-clamp techniques combined with intracellular labeling to electrophysiologically and morphologically characterize neuronal populations in resected cortical tissue from patients with drug resistant epilepsy. We then determined if cells were uniformly resistant to carbamazepine or whether only a subset did not respond. Cortical spiking patterns were segregated in six main clusters: adapting high frequency cluster 1 and 2 (AHF1 and AHF2), adapting low frequency cluster 1 and 2 (ALF1 and ALF2), strongly adapting low frequency group (sALF) and one spike cluster (OS). A morphological analysis showed that some spiking patterns tend to be associated with specific neuronal morphology. OS group included only pyramidal cells while adapting high frequency groups (AHF1 &AHF2) displayed typical interneuron phenotype. Finally, we found that CBZ does not uniformly suppress neuronal activity as only ~27% of interneurons and ~40% of pyramidal cells were carbamazepine insensitive. These data indicate that in humans with DRE there is a heterogeneous CBZ insensitivity in all sub-populations of neurons.

Post status epilepticus (SE) and chemical kindling are two widely used animal models for epileptic studies The pilocarpine-treated C57BL/6 mice exhibited stereotypical alterations of F-actin networks, including a severe reduction of F-actin in area CA1-CA3 and in the hilum. By contrast, F-actin networks seemed less affected by pentylenetetrazol kindling, and almost no remarkable alterations were noted in area CA1 or in the hilum. The overall labeling of F-actin in the hippocampus was generally consistent with the pathological observations on dendritic spines reported in both the epileptic models. Because the reorganized F-actin network can lead to long-term stabilization of synaptic changes and to consolidation of the enhanced neuronal activity, the alterations of F-actin networks may be related to the aberrant hyperexcitability in the epileptic animals.

Homeobox-containing transcription factors crucially regulate the patterning and regionalization of the developing nervous system, as well as the proliferation, survival and differentiation of distinct neuronal populations. Altered expression of these factors markedly impacts the structure and function of the embryonic and adult central nervous system (CNS). In both humans and mice, mutations of homeobox genes have been associated to severe syndromes characterized by developmental CNS defects, which often lead to the occurrence of seizures in the adult life. Among homeobox genes, Otx genes ( Otx1 and Otx2) are crucially involved in brain regionalization. Our previous work showed that mice lacking Otx1 present cerebral cortex defects and develop epilepsy, whereas mice with conditional deletion or overexpression of Otx2 show profound alterations in midbrain-to-forebrain circuits, which are accompanied by an abnormal response to experimentally-induced seizures. In this brief review, we highlight and discuss the major findings suppporting the role of Otx genes in sculpting midbrain and forebrain circuits involved in epileptogenesis.
