Carl L. Faingold has contributed to several research articles in notable publication venues such as:

  • Epilepsia (3 publications)
  • Epilepsy Research (1 publication)
  • Progress in Neurobiology (1 publication)

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Carl L. Faingold are:

  • "A unified hypothesis of SUDEP: Seizure-induced respiratory depression induced by adenosine may lead to SUDEP but can be prevented by autoresuscitation and other restorative respiratory response mechanisms mediated by the action of serotonin on the periaqueductal gray," 2023, Epilepsia
  • "Response to Singh et al. 2023: It is premature for a unified hypothesis of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: A great amount of research is still needed to understand the multisystem cascade," 2023, Epilepsia
  • "Lethal Interactions of neuronal networks in epilepsy mediated by both synaptic and volume transmission indicate approaches to prevention," 2025, Progress in Neurobiology

Additionally, they have co-authored important related works in the field, including "Serotonin 5-HT4 receptors play a critical role in the action of fenfluramine to block seizure-induced sudden death in a mouse model of SUDEP," published in 2021 in Epilepsy Research, and "Enhancing the action of serotonin by three different mechanisms prevents spontaneous seizure-induced mortality in Dravet mice," published in 2024 in Epilepsia.
