piracetam and Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe

piracetam has been researched along with Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe in 26 studies

Piracetam: A compound suggested to be both a nootropic and a neuroprotective agent.

Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe: A localization-related (focal) form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the TEMPORAL LOBE, most commonly from its mesial aspect. A wide variety of psychic phenomena may be associated, including illusions, hallucinations, dyscognitive states, and affective experiences. The majority of complex partial seizures (see EPILEPSY, COMPLEX PARTIAL) originate from the temporal lobes. Temporal lobe seizures may be classified by etiology as cryptogenic, familial, or symptomatic. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p321).

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Levetiracetam (LEV), a newer antiepileptic drug (AED) useful for several epilepsy syndromes, binds to SV2A."7.75No major role of common SV2A variation for predisposition or levetiracetam response in epilepsy. ( Cavalleri, GL; Delanty, N; Depondt, C; Doherty, CP; Goldstein, DB; Kinirons, P; Lynch, JM; Murphy, K; O'Rourke, D; Sander, JW; Shianna, KV; Sisodiya, SM; Tate, SK; Weale, ME; Wood, NW, 2009)
"In a univariate analysis, seizure frequency during the year before suicide, use of antiepileptic drug polytherapy, lack of aura before seizure, diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy, use of levetiracetam, psychiatric comorbidity, and use of antidepressants were all significantly higher in the suicide group than in the nonsuicide group."3.81Identifying clinical correlates for suicide among epilepsy patients in South Korea: A case-control study. ( Ahn, MH; Choi, EJ; Hong, JP; Kang, JK; Lee, HB; Lee, HJ; Park, S; Park, SJ; Ryu, HU, 2015)
" We previously showed that tolerance to levetiracetam (LEV) developed within 4 days after the start of the treatment in a rat model for spontaneous seizures after electrically induced status epilepticus."3.76Improved seizure control by alternating therapy of levetiracetam and valproate in epileptic rats. ( Edelbroek, PM; Gorter, JA; van Vliet, EA, 2010)
" Levetiracetam, 40 mg/kg, suppressed the development of kindling measured as severity of seizures and AD duration."3.76Levetiracetam attenuates hippocampal expression of synaptic plasticity-related immediate early and late response genes in amygdala-kindled rats. ( Christensen, KV; Egebjerg, J; Kallunki, P; Leffers, H; Sánchez, C; Watson, WP, 2010)
"Levetiracetam (LEV), a newer antiepileptic drug (AED) useful for several epilepsy syndromes, binds to SV2A."3.75No major role of common SV2A variation for predisposition or levetiracetam response in epilepsy. ( Cavalleri, GL; Delanty, N; Depondt, C; Doherty, CP; Goldstein, DB; Kinirons, P; Lynch, JM; Murphy, K; O'Rourke, D; Sander, JW; Shianna, KV; Sisodiya, SM; Tate, SK; Weale, ME; Wood, NW, 2009)
" The non-habitual seizures completely disappeared, and the frequency of the habitual seizures improved to the baseline level after the LEV dosage was reduced."1.72Seizure Deterioration with Increased Levetiracetam Blood Concentration during the Postpartum Period in Refractory Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. ( Aoki, S; Iida, K; Kikumoto, M; Maruyama, H; Neshige, S; Shishido, T; Ueno, H, 2022)
"Levetiracetam (LEV) is a novel anti-epileptic drug (AED) used to treat partial seizures and idiopathic generalized epilepsy."1.43Chronic treatment with levetiracetam reverses deficits in hippocampal LTP in vivo in experimental temporal lobe epilepsy rats. ( Ge, YX; Lin, YY; Liu, XY; Tian, XZ, 2016)
"Temporal lobe epilepsy is considered to be the most frequent of all epileptic syndromes."1.42Levetiracetam effect on adult-onset temporal lobe epilepsy with positive voltage-gated potassium channel antibody. ( Chen, L; Wang, W; Xiao, J; Zheng, HB; Zhou, D, 2015)
"In a first step, we examined anti-seizure effects of 6 AEDs on spontaneous recurrent focal electrographic seizures and secondarily generalized convulsive seizures in epileptic mice, showing that the focal nonconvulsive seizures were resistant to carbamazepine and phenytoin, whereas valproate and levetiracetam exerted moderate and phenobarbital and diazepam marked anti-seizure effects."1.42Inter-individual variation in the effect of antiepileptic drugs in the intrahippocampal kainate model of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy in mice. ( Bankstahl, M; Klein, S; Löscher, W, 2015)
"Only 29% of LEV-treated animals had seizures compared to all controls following a latent period that was similar in duration."1.42The anti-ictogenic effects of levetiracetam are mirrored by interictal spiking and high-frequency oscillation changes in a model of temporal lobe epilepsy. ( Avoli, M; Behr, C; Lévesque, M, 2015)
"Levetiracetam (LEV) is an interesting novel antiepileptic drug with proven efficacy in both animal models and patients with partial epilepsy."1.31Development of tolerance during chronic treatment of kindled rats with the novel antiepileptic drug levetiracetam. ( Hönack, D; Löscher, W, 2000)
