Gap Junctions, Fast Oscillations and the Initiation of Seizures,tions. Rather, we shall argue for a role for a newly described sort of gap junction, located between the proximal axons of principal neurons. Such axon-axon gap junctions promote epileptogenesis not so much by enhancing synchrony, as by providing pathways for the direct spread of action potentials b

Functional Role of Proinflammatory and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines in Seizures, where seizures initiate d spread. These molecules are released and interact with specific receptors on neurons. Since various cytokines have been shown to affect neuronal excitability, this led to the hypothesis that they may have a role in altering synaptic transmission in epileptic conditions. In

The epilepsies are estimated to affect 1–2% of the population, with the most common form being temporal lobe epilepsy, which accounts for 40% of all types. The underlying cause of this form of ep
