Abstract
Epilepsy is a recurrent, transient seizure disorder of the nervous system that affects the intellectual development, life and work, and psychological health of patients. People with epilepsy worldwide experience great suffering. Stressful stimuli such as infection, mental stress, and sleep deprivation are important triggers of epilepsy, and chronic stressful stimuli can lead to frequent seizures and comorbidities. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is the most important system involved in the body's stress response, and dysfunction thereof is thought to be associated with core epilepsy symptoms and related psychopathology. This article explores the intrinsic relationships of corticotropin-releasing hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and glucocorticoids with epilepsy in order to reveal the role of the HPA axis in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. We hope that this information will yield future possible directions and ideas for fully understanding the pathogenesis of epilepsy and developing antiepileptic drugs.
期刊介绍：
The JCN aims to publish the cutting-edge research from around the world. The JCN covers clinical and translational research for physicians and researchers in the field of neurology. Encompassing the entire neurological diseases, our main focus is on the common disorders including stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson''s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, headache, and peripheral neuropathy. Any authors affiliated with an accredited biomedical institution may submit manuscripts of original articles, review articles, and letters to the editor. The JCN will allow clinical neurologists to enrich their knowledge of patient management, education, and clinical or experimental research, and hence their professionalism.
