- Developmental and/or epileptic encephalopathy with spike-wave activation in sleep is a childhood epileptic encephalopathy spectrum where sleep-related spike-wave discharges drive neurocognitive regression during critical developmental periods. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on underlying mechanisms and presents an updated diagnostic framework. Impaired slow-wave activity downscaling and sleep spindle disruption predict neurocognitive outcomes more robustly than spike-wave index alone, with thalamic integrity emerging as an independent prognostic marker. Genetic diagnoses have been identified in up to 55% of cases, with GRIN2A variants the most common monogenic aetiology. A structured review of published articles detailing 293 individuals confirmed that language, cognitive, and behavioural impairments frequently coincided with, or sometimes occurred independently of, seizure onset. Our proposed diagnostic framework integrates sleep electroencephalogram-prioritizing spindle preservation and slow-wave organization-alongside high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging, trio-based genomic sequencing, and longitudinal neuropsychological assessment. Further research is needed to validate sleep-based biomarkers and determine whether early intervention improves neurodevelopmental outcomes. - Source: PubMed

Rasheed AyshaSekar ShivaniNaqvi RameezDutta ManidipaIssa ManalMenounou AngelikiKrishnakumar DeepaRatnaike Thiloka - Rhodiola crenulata (Hook. f. et Thoms.) H. Ohba is a traditional Tibetan medicine that has long been used in China for its cardioprotective, Qi-tonifying, and mind-calming properties. It is traditionally indicated for conditions such as irritability, restlessness, and agitation. Among its major active constituents are two naturally occurring small-molecule phenols-salidroside (SAL) and its aglycone tyrosol (TYR). While SAL has been reported to exert neuropsychiatric effects including anxiolytic activity, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood, and whether TYR shares similar anxiolytic properties has yet to be clarified. - Source: PubMed

Coskun HakkiTuncbilek ZuhalGenc Husnu CagriKaya Gulcihan CinarTas Ayca - Febrile seizures (FS), the most common early-childhood neurological emergency, have a poorly understood impact on the maturing glutamatergic system. We present a detailed spatiotemporal analysis of transcriptional dynamics of key glutamatergic components during a critical postnatal window. Using a hyperthermia-induced FS model in rats at postnatal day 10, we measured mRNA levels of ionotropic (NMDA, AMPA) subunits, metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) groups I-III, glutamate transporters (Slc1a1-3), and glutamine synthetase (Glul) across the dorsal/ventral hippocampus, temporal and medial prefrontal cortices at P14, P21, and P50. For selected targets (GluN2A/2B, GluA1/2, EAAT2), protein abundance was analyzed by Western blotting to test how closely transcriptional changes are reflected at the protein level. We identified robust region- and age-specific developmental trajectories for all targets, including the expected maturational shift in NMDA receptor subunits. FS disrupted these programs, causing widespread downregulation of NMDA and AMPA receptor subunits, mGluRs, and astrocytic transporters in the dorsal hippocampus and temporal cortex at P14. Importantly, FS prevented the normal developmental increase in the Grin2a/Grin2b mRNA ratio in the dorsal hippocampus at P21. Notably, protein abundance for selected targets did not mirror transcriptional changes at the examined time points, suggesting post-transcriptional buffering or delayed translation. This mismatch suggests that transcriptional changes may precede detectable proteomic alterations during circuit maturation, although alternative explanations, such as delayed translation or post-translational regulation, cannot be excluded. Our findings identify candidate transcriptional correlates that may contribute to long-term neurocognitive vulnerability, and highlight the potential importance of timing when targeting glutamatergic pathways for neuroprotection. - Source: PubMed

Kovalenko Anna AZakharova Maria VSchwarz Alexander PZubareva Olga EZaitsev Aleksey V - Cognitive flexibility-the ability to adapt behavior when contingencies change-is impaired in psychiatric disorders involving prefrontal dysfunction. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) relies on noradrenergic input from the locus ceruleus (LC), yet the molecular mechanisms enabling this neuromodulatory control remain unclear. Here we show that GluN2A-containing NMDA receptors are required for LC-mPFC regulation of network dynamics and reversal learning in male mice. Optogenetic activation of LC→mPFC projections enhanced reversal learning in wild-type (WT) and heterozygous mice but not in global knock-outs, whereas LC inhibition impaired performance only in WT animals. In slices, norepinephrine (NE) and LC stimulation induced gamma and high-frequency oscillations in WT mPFC that were blocked by α2-adrenergic antagonism, but these oscillatory responses were undetectable in mutants. mutants also exhibited increased LC axonal density and elevated NE transporter expression in the prelimbic cortex, consistent with enhanced noradrenergic clearance capacity. Together, these findings identify GluN2A as a key determinant of LC-prefrontal circuit function supporting cognitive flexibility. They suggest that functional deficits in these mutants should be interpreted within the context of compensatory structural hyperinnervation resulting from global GluN2A deficiency, which may reflect a developmental adaptation rather than acute signaling loss. Furthermore, these results promote α2-adrenergic pathways as potential entry points for restoring prefrontal network coordination. - Source: PubMed
