Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy
Duration
70 minutes
Epileptogenesis is a gradual and dynamic process leading to difficult-to-treat seizures. Several cellular, molecular, and pathophysiologic mechanisms, including the activation of inflammatory processes. The use of human brain tissue represents a crucial strategy to advance our understanding of the underlying neuropathology and the molecular and cellular basis of epilepsy and related cognitive and behavioral comorbidities, The mounting evidence obtained during the past decade has emphasized the critical role of inflammation in the pathophysiological processes implicated in a large spectrum of genetic and acquired forms of focal epilepsies. Dissecting the cellular and molecular mediators of the pathological immune responses and their convergent and divergent mechanisms, is a major requisite for delineating their role in the establishment of epileptogenic networks. The role of small regulatory molecules involved in the regulation of specific pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways and the crosstalk between neuroinflammation and oxidative stress will be addressed. The observations supporting the activation of both innate and adaptive immune responses in human focal epilepsy will be discussed and elaborated, highlighting specific inflammatory pathways as potential targets for antiepileptic, disease-modifying therapeutic strategies.
