Case Study: Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity changes astrocyte and microglia morphology
Simultaneously, the tri-culture model revealed astrocyte and microglia morphological alterations brought on by glutamate-induced excitotoxicity.

Patch clamp technology provides a powerful means to directly assess the target effects of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). By precisely measuring changes in sodium and potassium channel currents, researchers can determine how AEDs modulate neuronal excitability at the cellular level. This technique is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of drug action and optimizing therapeutic strategies.
- Dynamic Network Analysis: Calcium Imaging and MEA Recordings
Calcium imaging and multi-electrode array (MEA) recordings offer real-time monitoring of synchronous discharge activity within neural networks. These techniques provide a dynamic view of seizure-like events, allowing researchers to quantify the frequency and duration of epileptic bursts. This comprehensive analysis of network activity is essential for evaluating the efficacy of novel anticonvulsants and understanding the propagation of seizures.
- Molecular Profiling
Combining enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) enables comprehensive molecular profiling in epilepsy research. This approach allows for the precise quantification of key biomarkers, including glutamate and GABA levels, inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and TNF-α, and the expression of epilepsy-related genes. By analyzing these molecular signatures, researchers can gain valuable insights into the pathophysiology of epilepsy and identify potential therapeutic targets.
