Mechanisms of Neurostimulation for Epilepsy
Epilepsy Curr. 2023 Oct 15;23(5):298-302. doi: 10.1177/15357597231191887. eCollection 2023 Sep-Oct.ABSTRACTThis review discusses the use of neurostimulation therapies for epilepsy treatment, including vagal nerve stimulation, responsive neurostimulation, and deep brain stimulation. Different therapeutic strategies and their underlying mechanisms are explored, with a focus on optimizing parameters for seizure reduction. The review also highlights the paradigm shift toward a more diverse and multimodal approach to deep brain neuromodulation.PMID:37901784 | PMC:PMC10601041 | DOI:10.1177/15357597231191887 (Source: Epilepsy Curr)

Electrical stimulation of the peripheral and central vestibular system
Curr Opin Neurol. 2023 Oct 26. doi: 10.1097/WCO.0000000000001228. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Electrical stimulation of the peripheral and central vestibular system using noninvasive (galvanic vestibular stimulation, GVS) or invasive (intracranial electrical brain stimulation, iEBS) approaches have a long history of use in studying self-motion perception and balance control. The aim of this review is to summarize recent electrophysiological studies of the effects of GVS, and functional mapping of the central vestibular system using iEBS in awake patients.RECENT FINDINGS: The use of GVS has become incre...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe noradrenaline (NA) system is one of the brain's major neuromodulatory systems; it originates in a small midbrain nucleus, the locus coeruleus (LC), and projects widely throughout the brain.1,2 The LC-NA system is believed to regulate arousal and attention3,4 and is a pharmacological target in multiple clinical conditions.5,6,7 Yet our understanding of its role in health and disease has been impeded by a lack of direct recordings in humans. Here, we address this problem by showing that electrochemical estimates of...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to discuss the molecular pathways governing the development of seizures in glioma patients.RECENT FINDINGS: The intrinsic epileptogenicity of the neuronal component of glioneuronal and neuronal tumors is the most relevant factor for seizure development. The two major molecular alterations behind epileptogenicity are the rat sarcoma virus (RAS)/mitogen-activated protein kinase / extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase / protein kinase B / m...
