Development of the calcium plateau following status epilepticus: role of calcium in epileptogenesisNisha Nagarkatti
Department of, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23298, USA
Expert Rev Neurother 9:813-24. 2009..Thus, characterization of the post-injury Ca(2+) plateau may be important in eventually understanding the pathophysiology of epileptogenesis and preventing the progression to chronic epilepsy after brain injury...
Carisbamate prevents the development and expression of spontaneous recurrent epileptiform discharges and is neuroprotective in cultured hippocampal neuronsLaxmikant S Deshpande
Department of Neurology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia 23298, USA
Epilepsia 49:1795-802. 2008..Thus, development of drugs that would prevent or decrease the onset of epilepsy following brain injury represents an important area of research...
The novel antiepileptic drug carisbamate (RWJ 333369) is effective in inhibiting spontaneous recurrent seizure discharges and blocking sustained repetitive firing in cultured hippocampal neuronsLaxmikant S Deshpande
Department of Neurology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23298, USA
Epilepsy Res 79:158-65. 2008....
Dantrolene inhibits the calcium plateau and prevents the development of spontaneous recurrent epileptiform discharges following in vitro status epilepticusNisha Nagarkatti
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA
Eur J Neurosci 32:80-8. 2010..These findings offer potential for a novel treatment to prevent the development of epileptiform discharges following brain injuries...
Levetiracetam inhibits both ryanodine and IP3 receptor activated calcium induced calcium release in hippocampal neurons in cultureNisha Nagarkatti
Department of Neurology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23298, United States
Neurosci Lett 436:289-93. 2008..Thus, the ability of LEV to modulate the two major CICR systems demonstrates an important molecular effect of this agent on a major second messenger system in neurons...
Development of pharmacoresistance to benzodiazepines but not cannabinoids in the hippocampal neuronal culture model of status epilepticusLaxmikant S Deshpande
Department of Neurology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23298, USA
Exp Neurol 204:705-13. 2007..Thus, the use of cannabinoids in the treatment of SE may offer a unique approach to controlling SE without the development of pharmacoresistance observed with conventional treatments...
