The heartbeat evoked potential and the prediction of functional seizure semiology -
Functional seizures (FSs) are common, but distinguishing FS from epileptic seizures (ESs) can be challenging, and the pathophysiology is not well-understood. The heartbeat evoked potential (HEP) reflects the central processing of cardiac signals and bodily attention. Our group previously demonstrated HEP differences between FS and ES. Here, we sought to replicate these HEP findings in an indepe...
Before attributing a positive effect to levetiracetam extended compared to immediate release, appropriately designed studies are necessary - No abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage, suspected EBV reactivation, and TBA-positive epilepsy after deep cervical lymphovenous anastomosis in Alzheimer's disease: a case report - Lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) is emerging as a potential surgical intervention to ameliorate cervical lymphatic outflow and enhance glymphatic clearance in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the spectrum of neurological sequelae associated with this procedure remains poorly characterized. We report the case of a 67-years-old male with amyloid PET-confirmed AD who underwent bilateral deep cervi...
Whole-brain cellular-resolution functional network properties of seizure susceptibility - Despite its prevalence and clinical impacts, epilepsy remains incompletely understood in terms of the population dynamics that mediate seizure susceptibility, initiation, and propagation across brain-wide networks. In this study, we have performed calcium imaging in zebrafish, brain-wide and at cellular resolution, at baseline and as seizures are induced using the GABA (A) receptor antagonist p...
Somatic variants activating the RAS-MAPK pathway confer susceptibility to hippocampal sclerosis in drug-resistant epilepsy - Hippocampal sclerosis is a frequent finding in pediatric epilepsy surgery and has traditionally been regarded as an acquired lesion. It commonly co-occurs with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD IIIa), yet whether hippocampal injury is secondary to seizures or reflects a shared underlying etiology remains unresolved. Here we identified somatic variants activating the RAS-MAPK pathway in 40% of patie...
Longitudinal Phenotypic Trajectories in GNAO1-Related Disorders: Defining Disease Progression and Clinical Profiles - OBJECTIVE: Pathogenic variants in GNAO1 cause a spectrum of epilepsy, movement disorders, and developmental impairment. Clinical heterogeneity complicates prognosis and therapeutic development. We present the first longitudinal natural history study of GNAO1-related disorders (GNAO1-RD) to delineate phenotypic trajectories.

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.
