“…A direct cause of these types of epilepsy could lie, particularly, in changes of signaling cascades activity, including those regulating neurotransmitter release and ion channel gene expression (e.g., MAPK and mTOR) [ 10 , 57 , 117 , 118 , 119 , 120 ]. The imbalance in signaling cascades activity can lead, also, to cell cycle deteriorations during neuronal proliferation; the development of mitochondriopathy; excessive apoptosis, affecting definite types of neurons; the development of neuroinflammation; and other mechanisms of epileptogenesis, which has been mainly studied in animal models [ 121 , 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 , 126 ]. Thus, some cases of genetically determined epilepsy are the result of disturbances in the complex networks regulating the development and homeostasis of the nervous system.…”
