项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders. Patients with epilepsy experience recurrent seizures that can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from muscle stiffness to loss of consciousness. Partial epilepsy is the most common syndrome in adult epilepsy patients and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common form of partial epilepsy. Epilepsy is characterized by the abnormal synchronization of large numbers of neurons. Current therapeutic agents cannot control seizures in 25% of all epileptic patients. Although electrical stimulation of the brain has been very effective to suppress some symptoms of Parkinson's disease, the level of seizure suppression by brain stimulation has been limited. The reason for this low therapeutic outcome could be attributed to an inadequate target for stimulation, lack of understanding of the mechanisms and non-optimum stimulation parameters. During the previous grant period, we have developed a novel method to suppress seizures by activating a fiber tract target at low frequency that has been tested in several animal models and in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. We now propose to study the mechanisms underlying this powerful suppression method in order to improve the suppression and guide the clinical implementation. Specifically, we propose to 1) unravel the cellular mechanisms of the suppression and the after effects, 2) study the specific role of inhibitory neurons using optogenetics methodology and 3) determine the axonal pathways involved in the suppression. The results of this neuro-technology project should provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying seizure suppression as well as capitalizing on the previous grant period to develop a novel therapeutic method for the control of seizures in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

描述（由申请人提供）：癫痫是最普遍的神经系统疾病之一。癫痫患者经历了复发性癫痫发作，可能引起各种症状，从肌肉僵硬到意识丧失。部分癫痫是成年癫痫患者中最常见的综合征，介体颞叶癫痫（MTLE）是部分癫痫的最常见形式。癫痫的特征是大量神经元的异常同步。当前的治疗剂无法控制所有癫痫患者中25％的癫痫发作。尽管对大脑的电刺激对于抑制帕金森氏病的某些症状非常有效，但脑刺激抑制癫痫发作的水平受到限制。这种低治疗结果的原因可能归因于刺激的目标不足，对机制缺乏了解和非优势刺激参数。在上一个赠款期间，我们开发了一种新的方法来抑制癫痫发作，通过在低频和中颞叶癫痫患者中测试的低频纤维靶靶通过激活纤维道靶标。现在，我们建议研究这种强大的抑制方法的基础机制，以改善抑制并指导临床实施。具体而言，我们建议1）阐明抑制的细胞机制和后期作用，2）使用光遗传学方法研究抑制性神经元的特定作用，3）确定抑制所涉及的轴突途径。该神经技术项目的结果应为癫痫发作抑制的基础机制提供宝贵的见解，并利用先前的赠款期，以开发一种新型的治疗方法，以控制介体颞叶癫痫患者的癫痫发作。
