The Laboratory of Epilepsy and Emotional Behavior, led by Vaishnav Krishnan, M.D., Ph.D., is devoted to advancing our knowledge of the basic neurobiological mechanisms that underlie the strong ...

Our research aims at understanding the molecular basis of epilepsy syndromes through identification of the underlying defective genes, followed by functional analyses of the gene products and ...

over the past decade epilepsy researchers have increasingly discussed and promoted the concept of targeting underlying brain mechanisms of epileptogenesis and injury that cause epilepsy and its ...

The largest and most diverse study to date of epilepsy's genetic factors has revealed new potential targets for treatment, ...

It is reasonable to hypothesize that the same mechanisms that account for normal synaptic plasticity might also mediate pathophysiological changes in dendrites with epilepsy, but in a more extreme ...

A recent Acta Neuropathologica study identifies shared mechanisms between epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using proteomics. Study: Similar brain proteomic signatures in Alzheimer’s ...
