Despite evidence that supports cannabidiol (CBD) as an anticonvulsant agent, there remains controversy over the antiseizure efficacy, possible adverse effects, and synergistic interactions with classic antiepileptics such as valproate (VPA). The genetic audiogenic seizure hamster from the University of Salamanca (GASH/Sal) is a reliable experimenta...

Rodent models of audiogenic seizures, in which seizures are precipitated by an abnormal response of the brain to auditory stimuli, are crucial to investigate the neural bases underlying ictogenesis. Despite significant advances in understanding seizure generation in the inferior colliculus, namely the epileptogenic nucleus, little is known about th...

Stress is among the most seizure precipitant in epilepsy, however it is not clear yet how stress interact with repeatedly induced seizures, the so-called kindling. In the present, we carried out a research addressed to demonstrate the influence of repetitive acoustic stimulation on different stress-like parameters

Advances and Perspectives in Neuroscience”

The programme book of the the First International Conference “Audiogenic Epilepsy: from Animal Models to the Clinic” contains the proceedings and contributions made by researchers at the conference. The Congress was held at the Neuroscience Institute of Castilla y León (INCyL), Salamanca, Spain, from September 9th – 12th, 2014 and focused on a broa...
