    الوصف: Background: Although people with late onset epilepsy of unknown etiology (LOEU) are at higher risk of cognitive decline compared to the general population, we still lack affordable tools to predict and stratify their risk of dementia. Objective: This pilot-study investigates the potential application of electroencephalography (EEG) network small-world (SW) properties in predicting cognitive decline among patients with LOEU. Methods: People diagnosed with LOEU and normal cognitive examination at the time of epilepsy diagnosis were included. Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, brain imaging, and neuropsychological assessment were performed at the time of epilepsy diagnosis. Baseline EEG was analyzed for SW properties. Patients were followed-up over time with neuropsychological testing to define the trajectory of cognitive decline. Results: Over 5.1 years of follow-up, among 24 patients diagnosed with LOEU, 62.5% were female, mean age was 65.3 years, thirteen developed mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and four developed dementia. Patients with LOEU developing MCI had lower values of SW coefficients in the delta (p = 0.03) band and higher SW values in the alpha frequency bands (p = 0.02) compared to patients having normal cognition at last follow-up. The two separate ANOVAs, for low and alpha bands, confirmed an interaction between SW and cognitive decline at follow-up. A similar gradient was confirmed for patients developing dementia compared to those with normal cognitive function as well as to those developing MCI. Conclusion: Baseline EEG analysis through SW is worth investigating as an affordable, widely available tool to stratify LOEU patients for their risk of cognitive decline.

    الوصف: Although amyloid pathology plays a role in epilepsy, little is known about the relationship between beta amyloid and progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD) among patients with late-onset epilepsy of unknown origin (LOEU). This multicenter, observational, prospective study enrolled 40 consecutive nondemented adults diagnosed with LOEU, together with 43 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. All patients completed neuropsychological tests, core CSF AD biomarkers assessment (Aβ1-42, total tau, and phosphorylated tau), and follow-up for a mean of 3 years to verify cognitive decline. Despite age and baseline cognitive performance were similar to healthy controls, patients with LOEU had significant prevalence of CSF pathological Aβ1-42 (

    الوصف: Among genetic abnormalities identified in Parkinson's disease (PD), mutations of the leucine-rich repeat kinase2 (LRRK2) gene, such as the G2019S missense mutation linked to enhanced kinase activity, are the most common. While the complex role of LRRK2 has not been fully elucidated, evidence that mutated kinase activity affects synaptic transmission has been reported. Thus, our aim was to explore possible early alterations of neurotransmission produced by the G2019S LRRK2 mutation in PD. We performed electrophysiological patch-clamp recordings of striatal spiny projection neurons (SPNs) in the G2019S-Lrrk2 knock-in (KI) mouse model of PD, in D1994S kinase-dead (KD), Lrrk2 knock-out (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice. In G2019S Lrrk2 KI mice, basal spontaneous glutamatergic transmission, synaptic facilitation, and NMDA/AMPA ratios were unchanged, whereas the stimulation of dopamine (DA) D2 receptor by quinpirole reduced the spontaneous and evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSC). Quinpirole reduced the EPSC amplitude of SPNs in KI but not in KD, KO and WT mice, suggesting that the enhanced LRRK2 kinase activity induced by the G2019S mutation is associated with the observed functional alteration of SPNs synaptic transmission. The effect of quinpirole was mediated by a phospholipase C (PLC)-dependent release of endocannabinoid, with subsequent activation of presynaptic cannabinoid receptor 1 and reduced release of glutamate. The key role of DA D2 receptor in reducing glutamatergic output in our LRRK2 genetic model of PD further supports the use of DA agonists in the treatment of early PD patients with LRRK2 mutations to counteract the disease progression.

    الوصف: Cognitive impairment (CI) is a disabling concomitant of multiple sclerosis (MS) with a complex and controversial pathogenesis. The cytokine interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is involved in the immune pathogenesis of MS, but its possible effects on synaptic function and cognition are still largely unexplored. In this study, we show that the IL-17A receptor (IL-17RA) is highly expressed by hippocampal neurons in the CA1 area and that exposure to IL-17A dose-dependently disrupts hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) through the activation of its receptor and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). During experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), IL-17A overexpression is paralleled by hippocampal LTP dysfunction. An in vivo behavioral analysis shows that visuo-spatial learning abilities are preserved when EAE is induced in mice lacking IL-17A. Overall, this study suggests a key role for the IL-17 axis in the neuro-immune cross-talk occurring in the hippocampal CA1 area and its potential involvement in synaptic dysfunction and MS-related CI.

    الوصف: CalDAG-GEFI (CDGI) is a protein highly enriched in the striatum, particularly in the principal spiny projection neurons (SPNs). CDGI is strongly down-regulated in two hyperkinetic conditions related to striatal dysfunction: Huntingtons disease and levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinsons disease. We demonstrate that genetic deletion of CDGI in mice disrupts dendritic, but not somatic, M1 muscarinic receptors (M1Rs) signaling in indirect pathway SPNs. Loss of CDGI reduced temporal integration of excitatory postsynaptic potentials at dendritic glutamatergic synapses and impaired the induction of activity-dependent long-term potentiation. CDGI deletion selectively increased psychostimulant-induced repetitive behaviors, disrupted sequence learning, and eliminated M1R blockade of cocaine self-administration. These findings place CDGI as a major, but previously unrecognized, mediator of cholinergic signaling in the striatum. The effects of CDGI deletion on the selfadministration of drugs of abuse and its marked alterations in hyperkinetic extrapyramidal disorders highlight CDGIs therapeutic potential.

    الوصف: Background The impact of adverse events (AEs) of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have an impact on compliance and dropouts. We compared tolerability of AEs of AEDs among patients with migraine, epilepsy, or both. Methods Overall, 335 patients (epilepsy (n = 142), migraine (n = 131), and both (n = 62)), were evaluated with the Liverpool Adverse Events Profile (LAEP) to assess the magnitude, profile and occurrence rate of the AEs of valproate, topiramate, and lamotrigine. Results AEs were significantly more common with topiramate treatment (71.0%) and among migraineurs (69.5%), the latter being more prone to discontinue AEDs (46.6%). The profile of AEs with topiramate and valproate differed among groups. Moreover, treatment with both topiramate and valproate was associated, for all groups, with a worse tolerability profile compared to lamotrigine. Conclusion Our data suggest a specific drug and disease AE profile of AEDs. Specifically, migraineurs are the most affected by AEs, even though they receive very low dosages of AEDs. This finding might be considered a clinical implication of central sensitization mechanisms. Both the profile and tolerability of AEs, highly influencing quality of life, depended on the underlying conditions, and deeply impacted on treatment dropout. Therefore, before starting, switching or stopping AED treatment, all options need to be considered.

    الوصف: Experimental and clinical observations indicate that amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ1-42) peptide not only represents a major actor in neurodegenerative mechanisms but also induce hyperexcitation in individual neurons and neural circuits. In this abnormal excitability, possibly leading to seizures, the D1 dopamine (DA) receptors may play a role. Cerebrospinal fluid levels of Aβ1-42 were measured in patients with late-onset epilepsy of unknown etiology. Moreover, the effect of amyloid peptide on the hippocampal epileptic threshold and synaptic plasticity and its link to D1 receptor function were tested in experimental mouse model of cerebral amyloidosis and in acute model of Aβ1-42-induced neurotoxicity. Among 272 evaluated epileptic patients, aged >55 years, 35 suffered from late-onset epilepsy of unknown etiology. In these subjects, cerebrospinal fluid Aβ1-42 levels were measured. The effects of Aβ1-42, amyloid oligomers, and D1 receptor modulation on epileptic threshold were analyzed by electrophysiological recordings in the dentate gyrus of mice hippocampal slices. We found that Aβ1-42 levels were significantly decreased in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with late-onset epilepsy of unknown etiology with respect to controls suggesting the cerebral deposition of this peptide in these patients. Aβ1-42 enhanced epileptic activity in mice through a mechanism involving increased surface expression of D1 receptor, and this effect was mimicked by D1 receptor stimulation and blocked by SCH 23390, a D1 receptor antagonist. Aβ1-42 may contribute to the pathophysiology of late-onset epilepsy of unknown origin. Our preclinical findings indicate that the D1 receptor is involved in mediating the epileptic effects of Aβ1-42. This novel link between Aβ1-42 and D1 receptor signaling might represent a potential therapeutic target.

    الوصف: Objective Autoantibody‐mediated forms of encephalitis (AE) include neurological disorders characterized by subacute memory loss, movement disorders, and, often, frequent, focal epileptic seizures. Yet, the electrophysiological effects of these autoantibodies on neuronal function have received little attention. In this study, we assessed the effects of CSF containing autoantibodies on intrinsic and extrinsic properties of hippocampal neurons, to define their epileptogenic potential. Methods We compared the effects of CSF containing leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1), contactin‐associated protein‐like 2 (CASPR2), and γ‐aminobutyric acid receptor B (GABABR) antibodies on ex vivo electrophysiological parameters after stereotactic hippocampal inoculation into mice. Whole‐cell patch‐clamp and extracellular recordings from CA1 pyramidal neurons and CA3‐CA1 field recordings in ex vivo murine brain slices were used to study neuronal function. Results By comparison to control CSF, AE CSFs increased the probability of glutamate release from CA3 neurons. In addition, LGI1‐ and CASPR2 antibodies containing CSFs induced epileptiform activity at a population level following Schaffer collateral stimulation. CASPR2 antibody containing CSF was also associated with higher spontaneous firing of CA1 pyramidal neurons. On the contrary, GABABR antibody containing CSF did not elicit changes in intrinsic neuronal activity and field potentials. Interpretation Using patient CSF, we have demonstrated that the AE‐associated antibodies against LGI1 and CASPR2 are able to increase hippocampal CA1 neuron excitability, facilitating epileptiform activity. These findings provide in vivo pathogenic insights into neuronal dysfunction in these conditions.

    الوصف: Auditory "oddball" event-related potentials (aoERPs), resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) connectivity, and electroencephalographic (rsEEG) rhythms were tested as longitudinal functional biomarkers of prodromal Alzheimer's disease (AD). Data were collected at baseline and four follow-ups at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months in amnesic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patients classified in two groups: "positive" (i.e., "prodromal AD" n=81) or "negative" (n=63) based on a diagnostic marker of AD derived from cerebrospinal samples (Aβ 42 /P-tau ratio). A linear mixed model design was used to test functional biomarkers for Group, Time, and Group×Time effects adjusted by nuisance covariates (only data until conversion to dementia was used). Functional biomarkers that showed significant Group effects ("positive" versus "negative", p
