Susceptibility of immature and adult brains to seizure effects

Lancet Neurology
Sheryl R HautSolomon L Moshé

Abstract

The extent that status epilepticus (SE), but also brief seizures, affects neuronal structure and function has been the subject of much clinical and experimental research. There is a reliance on findings from animal research because there have been few prospective clinical studies. This review suggests that the features of seizure-induced injury in the immature brain compared with the adult brain are different and that duration of seizures (SE versus brief), number of seizures, cause of seizures, presence of pre-existing abnormalities, and genetics affect the injury. Increased awareness of age-specific injuries from seizure has promoted research to determine the circumstances under which seizures may produce permanent detrimental effects. Together with recent advances in functional neuroimaging, genomic investigation, and prospective human data, these studies are likely to substantially increase our knowledge of seizure-induced injury, leading to the development of improved algorithms for prevention and treatment of epilepsy.

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.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
