Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy
Duration
70 minutes
The epileptogenesis process is associated with large-scale changes in gene expression, which contribute to the remodelling of brain networks permanently altering excitability. About 80% of the protein coding genes are under the influence of the circadian rhythms. These are 24-hour endogenous rhythms that determine a large number of daily changes in physiology and behavior in our bodies. In the brain, the master clock regulates a large number of pathways that are important during epileptogenesis and established-epilepsy, such as neurotransmission, synaptic homeostasis, inflammation, blood-brain barrier among others. In-depth mapping of the molecular basis of circadian timing in the brain is key for a complete understanding of the cellular and molecular events connecting genes to phenotypes.
