The contralateral hippocampal internal microstructure may have be implicated in post-surgery seizure freedom in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis.
The FDA accepted Aquestive Therapeutics’ New Drug Application (NDA) for Libervant (diazepam) Buccal Film for seizure clusters.
Researchers have reported a highly sensitive and specific nanosensor that can monitor dynamic changes of potassium ions in mice undergoing epileptic seizures, indicating their intensity and origin in the brain.
These articles review the NINDS Epilepsy Benchmarks, examining progress made in epilepsy research and identifying priorities for the next phases of research.
Doing routine monitoring of drug levels of the newer antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) may not lead to better seizure control or treatment tolerance for patients with epilepsy, according to a randomized trial from Switzerland.

Pediatric Epilepsy
Using human nerve cells and three-dimensional “mini brains,” researchers have found that dysfunctional potassium channels may underlay the development of seizures associated with Angelman syndrome.
This study is the first to demonstrate that a particular feature of epilepsy—namely the desynchronization of interneuronal populations in the hippocampus—causes deficits in spatial information coding.
