Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. Although many factors contribute to epileptogenesis, seizure generation mostly linked hyperexcitability due alterations in excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance. The hypothesis that reduced inhibition, increased excitation, or both etiology epilepsy. Increasing evidence shows this view oversimplistic, and inhibition through depolarizing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) similarly contributes epileptogenisis. In early development, GABA signaling depolarizing, inducing outward Cl- currents high intracellular concentrations. During maturation, mechanisms action shift from hyperpolarizing, a critical event during brain development. Altered timing associated with neurodevelopmental disorders Here, we consider different ways altered E/I balance discuss could be denominator underlying epilepsies.

Abstract Early environments can have significant and lasting effects on brain, body, behavior across the lifecourse. Here, we address current research efforts to understand how experiences impact neurodevelopment with a new perspective integrating two well‐known conceptual frameworks – Developmental Origins of Health Disease (DOHaD) sensitive/critical period frameworks. Specifically, consider prenatal characterized in DOHaD model key neurobiological mechanisms periods for adapting learning from postnatal environment. We draw both animal human summarize state knowledge particular substance exposures (psychoactive substances heavy metals) nutritional profiles (protein‐energy malnutrition iron deficiency) each differentially brain circuits' excitation/GABAergic inhibition balance myelination. Finally, highlight directions that emerge this integrated framework, including testing alter timing identifying potential promotional/buffering periods. hope integrative framework considering influences neuroplasticity will stimulate early consequences our brains, behavior, health.
