Epilepsy and reproductive disorders: the role of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone network

Epilepsy & Behavior : E&B
Jessica A FawleyF Edward Dudek

Abstract

Individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy have an increased incidence of reproductive dysfunction. The comorbidity may be due to the acute effects of the seizures, the chronic effects of the epilepsy, and/or the use of antiepileptic drugs on the gonadotropin-releasing hormone network and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This review provides a brief overview of evidence from experimental animal and clinical studies exploring the basis for epilepsy-associated reproductive abnormalities.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.
