Abstract
Epilepsy is a complex neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Emerging evidence indicates that the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) family plays a significant and multifaceted role in the pathological processes underlying epileptogenesis and blood-brain barrier integrity. This review comprehensively explores the intricate role of S1PR signaling in epilepsy, with a particular focus on the integration of neuroimaging findings. In this review, we summarize recent advances in Positron Emission Tomography techniques that offer invaluable insights into S1PR-related pathophysiological changes in the epileptic brain. Furthermore, we discuss the substantial potential of S1PRs as novel therapeutic targets. By integrating these cutting-edge neuroimaging biomarkers with our evolving understanding of the underlying molecular pathways, this review aims to highlight promising new diagnostic tools and innovative treatment strategies for epilepsy.
