This thesis presents a first-of-its-kind phenomenological framework that formally describes the development of acquired epilepsy and the role of the neuro-immune axis in this development. Formulated as a system of nonlinear differential equations, the model describes the interaction of processes such as neuroinflammation, blood- brain barrier disruption, neuronal death, circuit remodeling, and epileptic seizures. The model allows for the simulation of epilepsy development courses caused by a variety of neurological injuries. The simulation results are in agreement with ex- perimental findings from three distinct animal models of epileptogenesis. Simula- tions capture injury-specific temporal patterns of seizure occurrence, neuroinflam- mation, blood-brain barrier leakage, and progression of neuronal death. In addition, the model provides insights into phenomena related to epileptogenesis such as the emergence of paradoxically long time scales of disease development after injury, the dose-dependence of epileptogenesis features on injury severity, and the variability of clinical outcomes in subjects exposed to identical injury. Moreover, the developed framework allows for the simulation of therapeutic interventions, which provides insights into the injury-specificity of prominent intervention strategies. Thus, the model can be used as an in silico tool for the generation of testable predictions, which may aid pre-clinical research for the development of epilepsy treatments.
