Emerging data propose innate and adaptive immune cells as possible triggers of ictogenesis. Activated immune cells induce blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability changes responsible for the extravasation into the brain parenchyma of serum proteins and other inflammatory mediators that promote neuroinflammation and seizures.The identification of cellular and soluble biomarkers that describe these processes is mandatory to better understand dysimmune encephalopathies with seizures.Funding: Fondazione Epilessia LICE - grant 2019; European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement no. 722053 (EU-GliaPhD), Italian Health Ministry, EPICARE project of the Associazione Paolo Zorzi per le Neuroscienze, FISM – Fondazione Italiana Sclerosi Multipla – cod. 2019/R-Single/065
