New Scan a 'Paradigm Shift' in Epilepsy Research
"An innovative new study merges engineering and clinical expertise to develop a revolutionary method to diagnose and treat epilepsy patients.
Researchers from the University of Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic believe a new type of non-invasive brain scan — taken immediately after a seizure — will provide advanced insight into possible causes and treatments for epilepsy patients.
...
Researchers say the study resulted in several significant findings:
Important data about brain function can be gathered through non-invasive methods, not only during a seizure, but immediately after a seizure;
The frontal lobe of the brain is most involved in severe seizures;
Seizures in the temporal lobe are most common among adults. The new technique used in the study will help determine the side of the brain where the seizures originate."
