Wake slow waves in focal human epilepsy impact network activity and cognition
During sleep, slow waves carry a restorative function in normalizing neuronal excitability. Here, using intracranial recordings from patients with focal epilepsy, we provide evidence of a beneficial impact of wake slow waves against excitability associated with epileptiform discharges.
What´s in blood ? EN-RAGE enters the stage
The pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders is a complex web of events and the biological processes involved are not fully understood. We have studied the levels of blood immune modulators in first episode psychotic patients revealing changes in EN-RAGE that is produced by neutrophils.
