This hypothesis stems from a series of recent studies that reappraised the role of neurons in epileptogenesis and hinted at a possible, direct contribution of astrocytes to the generation of an epileptic discharge.

These may lead to status epilepticus (SE), a condition of persistent seizures, and evolve into chronic epilepsy after a latent period of epileptogenesis.

These findings fuelled a controversial debate on the role of astrocytes in focal epileptogenesis and in the generation of epileptiform discharges In the present study, we used different models of epileptic seizures, including a new model of focal seizures, to define the role of astrocytes in the generation of epileptiform activities.

These data suggest that, differently from the animal models, in human patient SE cannot be considered a sufficient condition for epileptogenesis.
