A characteristic of nerve cells is their ability to propagate an action potential and to communicate
through specialized contact zones, called synapses. Synapses have received much …

Epilepsy is the tendency to have unprovoked epileptic seizures. Anything causing structural
or functional derangement of brain physiology may lead to seizures, and different conditions …

One century ago, Camillo Golgi described ‘perineuronal nets’ enwrapping the cell bodies and
proximal dendrites of certain neurons in the adult mammalian central nervous system and …

Purpose: Focal cortical dysplasias (FCD) are localized regions of malformed cerebral cortex
and are very frequently associated with epilepsy in both children and adults. A broad …

Accurate pathological diagnosis is crucial for optimal management of patients with cancer.
For the approximately 100 known tumour types of the central nervous system, standardization …

Hippocampal sclerosis ( HS ) is the most frequent histopathology encountered in patients
with drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy ( TLE ). Over the past decades, various attempts …

Background Detailed neuropathological information on the structural brain lesions underlying
seizures is valuable for understanding drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Methods We report …

The monoclonal antibody A60 specifically recognizes the DNA-binding, neuron-specific
protein NeuN, which is present in most neuronal cell types of vertebrates. In this study we …

Purpose: To describe the histologic spectrum and clinical characteristics of patients with
neuroepithelial tumors and drug‐resistant epilepsy and to analyze clinical data and treatment …

Classical paraneoplastic encephalitis syndromes with ‘onconeural’ antibodies directed to
intracellular antigens, and the recently described paraneoplastic or non-paraneoplastic …
