    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LTP; synaptic plasticity; synaptic transmission; electrophysiology; Y5 receptor; Y2 receptor; neuropeptide Y NPY ; hippocampus; gene therapy; epilepsy; memory; activity-dependent release; volume transmission;

    Abstract : Intractable seizures and lack of effective antiepileptic drugs (AED) are severe and common conditions affecting many patients with epilepsy. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop new therapies in epilepsy. The search for novel treatments has identified several neuropeptide systems as potential targets for future therapeutic interventions. READ MORE

  4. 22. Epidemiological studies of epilepsy : incidence and risk factors

    Author : Cecilia Adelöw; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : seizure;

    Abstract : Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological disorders leading to significant consequences for the affected. Despite the wealth of epidemiological data, there are still many un-answered questions. READ MORE

  5. 23. ADHD, epilepsy, and related childhood psychopathology : understanding shared genetic risk, developmental trajectories, and pharmacological treatment safety

    Author : Isabell Brikell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting 5-7% of children and 2.5-5% of adults worldwide. The disorder is characterized by excessive and age-inappropriate symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which impair everyday functioning across several settings (home, school, work).

  6. 24. Transcription factor control in neuronal maintenance and survival

    Author : Banafsheh Kadkhodaei; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Transcription factor (TF) Nurr1 is essential for the development of a group of dopamine neurons that are located in the ventral midbrain (also referred to as mesencephalon). A progressive pathology of these midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons is evident in Parkinson s disease, the most frequent neurodegenerative movement disorder. READ MORE

  7. 25. On mapping epilepsy : magneto- and electroencephalographic characterizations of epileptic activities

    Author : Karin Westin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorder, affecting up to 10 individuals per 1000 persons. The disorder have been known for several thousand years, with the first clinical descriptions dating back to ancient times. Nonetheless, characterization of the dynamics underlying epilepsy remains largely unknown. READ MORE
