Abstract
The interaction between immune system dysfunction and neuroinflammation is crucial for the development and progression of epilepsy. This study investigates the complex relationships between immune responses and the onset of epileptic seizures and highlights the influence of neuroinflammatory processes on neuronal integrity and seizure frequency. Key factors such as glial cell activation, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are being investigated for their roles in immune-mediated neurological disorders. The review examines novel therapeutic approaches targeting neuroinflammatory pathways. It highlights their potential to reduce seizure onset and development while addressing challenges in translating research into clinical practice. This study aims to elucidate these pathways, address knowledge gaps and explore novel options for epilepsy treatment.
期刊介绍：
Neurochemical Research is devoted to the rapid publication of studies that use neurochemical methodology in research on nervous system structure and function. The journal publishes original reports of experimental and clinical research results, perceptive reviews of significant problem areas in the neurosciences, brief comments of a methodological or interpretive nature, and research summaries conducted by leading scientists whose works are not readily available in English.
