AMANTADINE This drug acts to modulate the pain response by antagonizing the N - methyl - d - aspartate (NMDA) receptor and the role they play in central
neuronal hyperexcitability (wind up).
The UCI team also uncovered that during seizures, the M - current is suppressed, which contributes to
neuronal hyperexcitability.

neuronal KV7 channels cause
hyperexcitability syndromes such as benign familial neonatal seizures, early onset epileptic encephalopathy, and peripheral nerve
hyperexcitability.
However, detailed understanding of the molecular basis for the role of
neuronal KV7 channels in
hyperexcitability syndromes has been lacking.

hyperexcitability is the brain network basis for these symptoms, then reducing
neuronal excitability with certain drugs that modulate inhibition could be of therapeutic value in these devastating neurodevelopmental disorders.»
