Introduction: The rational polytherapy of epilepsy during pregnancy is challenging. VPA represents an old antiepileptic with broad spectrum indications and LEV is relatively new antiepileptic used for the treatment of generalized tonic-clonic and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and adjunctive therapy for focal seizures. Combination of these two antiepileptics during pregnancy, according to the cohort study (Gašparović at al., 2020), was the most common. Aim: The aim of the present study was to assesse the behavioral performance of the mice whose mothers were treated with combination of VPA and LEV

Viral infection-induced inflammation during pregnancy has been associated to malformations of the fetal brain. Microglia, the brain-resident macrophages, respond to inflammatory signals and at the same time are actively involved in various aspects of brain development. We know surprisingly little about how microglia balance the different demands during human embryonic development and which functional consequences an inflammatory environment has on neuronal organization and connectivity. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) provide a unique opportunity to investigate this relationship.H
