The neuroprotective effect of perampanel in lithium-pilocarpine rat seizure model
Status epilepticus (SE) carries a risk of major morbidity or mortality (Lowenstein and Alldredge, 1998; Rossetti and Lowenstein, 2011). There are many treatments for SE, including benzodiazepines such as diazepam (DZP) and lorazepam (Meierkord et al., 2006, 2010; Brophy et al., 2012). However, 30 –43% of SE cases become refractory to drugs (Holtkamp et al., 2005; Mayer et al., 2002). Prolonged seizure results in neuronal injury, neuronal death, and alteration of neuronal networks that can result in death or spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS) and cognitive impairment that will impact the patient’s whole life (Curia et...

Hypercognitive seizures − Proposal of a new term for the phenomenon forced thinking in epilepsy
The primary aim of this work is to review the available literature on forced thinking and evaluate its localizing information associated to a recently published series of patients in whom related phenomena were induced by electrical brain stimulation (Koubeissi et al., 2016). In this process we concluded that the term forced thinking was used heterogeneously in the literature, finally prompting the suggestion of a new term. In association with the current operational classification of seizure terms, we suggest the term hypercognitive seizure to describe an ictal mental experience of intrusive thoughts, ideas, or words. (So...

Impact of generic substitution on levetiracetam serum concentration —A prospective study in an outpatient setting
In the European Union, LEV was approved under the brand name Keppra ® in September 2000. Since the expiration of the patent, several generic LEV preparations have been marketed. Switching patients from a branded AED preparation to a generic one with the same active ingredient is often a challenging task. Several studies have shown that considerable proportions of p atients report either a deterioration in seizure control or increased adverse effects, enforcing a switch back to the original preparation (Andermann et al., 2007; Chaluvadi et al., 2011; Fitzgerald and Jacobson, 2011).
