What to know about epilepsy and seizure first aid - November is Epilepsy Awareness Month. Many people may already be aware of the condition from its prevalence in medical dramas, but that portrayal is often exaggerated and does not fully encapsulate ...

First seizure clinic provides visit, pediatric epilepsy diagnosis in less than a week - Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The model expedites access to specialists after a first seizure. The mean time between the referral and the ...

Pediatrics in Brevard: Here's what to know about epilepsy, what to do if someone has seizure - More than 3.4 million people in the United States have epilepsy, so it is a relatively common diagnosis. In fact, it is the fourth-most common neurologic condition in the world. November is National ...

What is neurofeedback? Video game-like therapy being used to treat anxiety, ADHD and more - It’s like a gym for your brain. As issues like anxiety, depression and restless sleep have spiked during the pandemic, some people are turning to neurofeedback, a kind of gym for the brain. It’s a ...

Mindmachines.com Introduces Advanced Meditation Technology for Enhanced Mental Performance - Dallas, Texas - January 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Mindmachines.com has introduced the third generation of its ...

Neurofeedback offering new insights into mental health treatments - Neurofeedback treatments are aimed at assisting those struggling with ADHD, generalized anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other neurological-based disorders.

How Can Neurofeedback Therapy Help Language and Processing Development? - From birth on, parents can count on their children to be individuals who grow and develop at their own pace. But from a developmental perspective, there are timeframes when kids typically achieve ...

Neurofeedback for Anxiety - Chronic anxiety is the long-term negative psychological experience to environmental stressors, characterized by prolonged and inappropriately excessive worrying, fatigue, restlessness, concertation, ...

Individuals with reported and novel KDM5C variants present with seizures, a feature recapitulated in a Drosophila model - Variants that disrupt the function of the chromatin regulator KDM5C cause a rare neurodevelopmental disorder (KDM5C-NDD) characterized by intellectual disability, seizures, and a broad range of systemic features. To better understand this disorder, more detailed and standardized information is required regarding the association between these genetic variants and cognitive and behavioral traits....

Increased excitability of layer 5 neocortical pyramidal neurons and its contribution to seizure activity in Gabrg2 gene-deficient mice - Gabrg2 ^(fl/wt) Cre ^(+) (CKO) mice are one of the models for studying "genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+)." A previous study revealed increased cortical excitability in CKO mice subjected to hyperthermia (CKO(-heat) mice), but the mechanism remains unclear. We investigated electrophysiological and morphological changes in layer 5 (L5) pyramidal neurons (PNs), and related molec...

Brain organoid models of SZT2-related disease reveal an overproduction of outer radial glial cells through mTORC1 activation - Biallelic loss-of-function variants of Seizure Threshold 2 (SZT2) cause neurodevelopmental diseases with developmental delay, epilepsy, and macrocephaly. SZT2 forms the KICSTOR complex, which represses the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) amino acid-sensitive pathway. SZT2 dysfunction is thought to cause abnormal activation of the mTOR pathway, underlying the pathogenesis of S...

Quantum inspired wavelet and Fourier feature fusion for EEG based epilepsy and seizure detection - The electroencephalography (EEG) signals are the cheapest approach to study the brain information, commonly used for epilepsy and seizure detection. This study presents a QFF-ML Net (Quantum Feature Fused Machine Learning Network). This novel approach integrates Quantum Wavelet Transform (QWT) and Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) with a dimensionality reduction method. The raw EEG signals are no...

Astrocytic FKBP5 regulates neuroinflammation and cognitive outcomes in male mouse models of excitotoxic epilepsy - FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51, encoded by FKBP5) is a multisignaling cochaperone that regulates cellular stress responses and inflammatory signaling through the NF-κB pathway. Although FKBP51 is upregulated in reactive astrocytes, its role in epilepsy and excitotoxic neuroinflammation remains unknown. Excessive astrogliosis and impaired glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1)-mediated glutamate clea...

Long term cognitive impairments following hypoxia-induced neonatal seizure restored by MSC-derived exosomes injection: Role of glutamatergic and GABAergic receptors - CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that MSC-derived exosomes mitigate long-term cognitive impairments following HINS, likely through hippocampal gene expression modulation. This study highlights the potential of exosome therapy in addressing HINS related neurodevelopmental deficits.

Brain signal irregularity may provide clues to understanding epileptic process - Researchers propose a new method to differentiate signals from the epileptic focus from those recorded in other parts of the brain without the presence of an epileptic seizure. This technique may help detect epilepsy-induced features from these signals much quicker than conventional analysis techniques.

Breakthrough tech enables seizure localization in minutes - New research introduces a novel network analysis technology that uses minimally invasive resting state electrophysiological recordings to localize seizure onset brain regions and predict seizure outcomes in just 10 minutes.

Antidepressant use during pregnancy not linked to epilepsy in children - A new study suggests that antidepressant use by mothers during the first trimester of pregnancy does not increase the chances of epilepsy and seizures in babies.
