Cellular Effects Of Antiepileptic Drugs, Robert L. Macdonald, Michael A. Rogawski Dec 2007

Cellular Effects Of Antiepileptic Drugs, Robert L. Macdonald, Michael A. Rogawski

Michael A. Rogawski

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) protect against seizures through interactions with a variety of cellular targets, which include various ion channels, a neurotransmitter transporter, a neurotransmitter metabolic enzyme, and a synaptic vesicle protein. AED actions on these targets can be categorized into four broad groups: 1. Modulation of voltage-dependent ion channels (mainly sodium [Na] but also calcium [Ca] channels) 2. Effects on γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) systems, including alterations in the cellular disposition of GABA and enhancement of synaptic inhibition mediated by GABA-A receptors 3. Inhibition of synaptic excitation mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors 4. Modulation of neurotransmitter release, particularly of glutamate, through …


Common Pathophysiologic Mechanisms In Migraine And Epilepsy, Michael A. Rogawski Dec 2007

Common Pathophysiologic Mechanisms In Migraine And Epilepsy, Michael A. Rogawski

Michael A. Rogawski

Migraine and epilepsy are comorbid episodic disorders that have common pathophysiologic mechanisms. Migraine attacks, like epileptic seizures, may be triggered by excessive neocortical cellular excitability; in migraine, however, the hyperexcitability is believed to transition to cortical spreading depression rather than to the hypersynchronous activity that characterizes seizures. Some forms of epilepsy and migraine are known to be channelopathies. Mutations in the same genes can cause either migraine or epilepsy or, in some cases, both. Given the likely commonalities in the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms, it is not surprising that some antiepileptic drugs, including valproate, topiramate, and gabapentin, are effective …
