We aim at investigating different aspects of the epilepsies in humans ranging from electrophysiological and immunocitochemical investigations of surgically ressected tissue to the evalution of new therapeutic strategies to be used in the prophylaxis of post-lesional epilepsies. The proposed experiments will rely on magnetic resonance imaging and thus will attempt to provide correlations b…
The epilepsy is very common in about 1% of population affecting man and women and it is a neurological disturb more frequent in the obstetric practice, occurring in 0.3 to 0.6% of pregnancies. These pregnancies are classified as high risk and present a major probability of complications, and the accompaniment of epileptic women that demonstrate desire of to become pregnant present three p…
The epileptic syndrome could be considered as an active process, where 10ng-Iasting seizures are able to produce important brain impact. These brain modifications are the result of a complex biochemical cascade activation, which can modify the gene expression with consequent alteration of receptors, enzyme activities, trophic factors, extracellular matrix as well as the cytoskeleton prote…
The neotropical wild rodent Proechimys guayannensis is a direct host of pathogens (Trypanosoma, Leishmania, cestodes, and larvae) but demonstrates innate resistance to these organisms. This rodent is of interest in Neuroscience due to scientific results that reveal an endogenous antiepileptogenic mechanism. However, its physiology is still poorly known and the work done with this animal i…
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy represents for 60% of the temporal lobe epilepsies, and it is intensively studied because of its high incidence and its resistance to pharmacological treatment. This type of epilepsy is associated with hippocampal sclerosis, the most common epileptogenic lesion wich is characterized by neuronal loss, ectopic neurons, formation of amyloid bodies, dispersion of…
