Hippocampal sclerosis is the most common pathology seen in drug-resistant patients. Besides specific alterations in neuronal populations, the epileptogenic hippocampus shows gliosis, which can impact tissue excitability and are linked with the increase in T2 signal and relaxation seen in the epileptogenic hippocampus. Despite the qualitative association between gliosis and T2 signal, quan…
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by convulsive episodes marked by involuntary muscle contractions, abnormal visual or auditory perceptions, transient memory alterations, among others. This affliction exhibits significant prevalence not only in Brazil but also globally, particularly in developing countries, leading to diminished quality of life for those affected and gener…
Protein Malnutrition (PM), characterized by low consumption of essential amino acids, promotes a pro-inflammatory environment in the central nervous system. The microglia are sensitized by various stimuli, including a pro-inflammatory environment in brain tissue, which affects the synaptic pruning process and, thus, the maturation of brain connections. Therefore, this project aims to eval…
Deficits in verbal memory and learning are usually seen in most patients with epilepsy of the left mesial temporal lobe. According to recent studies, these deficits are associated with the neuronal loss pattern: while patients who present with a neuronal loss on the granular layer (hippocampal sclerosis type 1 and 3) demonstrate memory and learning deficits, those with preserved granular …
Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) is the most common drug-resistant epileptic syndrome. In these drug-resistant cases, the hippocampus is the most frequent region of seizure start, and often presents several degrees of neuron loss, characterizing hippocampal sclerosis (HS) classes. TLE patients also have a high frequency of psychiatric comorbidities, such as depression and interictal psychosis…

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important non-invasive tool for the evaluation of several conditions. In drug-resistant epilepsies, surgical outcome depends largely on complete removal of the epileptogenic region, making MRI crucial for surgical planning. Cortical dysplasias, one of the most common pathological findings in young drug-resistant patients, can remain undetected by MRI…
