Seizure Burden in Resistant Epilepsy May Ease With the Tincture of Time - Nearly 70% of patients with focal treatment-resistant epilepsy (FTRE) experience fewer seizures over time, new results of a multicenter study showed. However, the improvements occurred independent of ...

Why Early Detection of Seizures and Epilepsy Is so Important - For parents, a child having a seizure is one of the most frightening experiences imaginable. While many childhood seizures are brief and isolated, others are more serious and persistent. To make the ...

Evidence-based retraining of the brain available on the Kenai Peninsula - Neurofeedback therapy for children and adults offers an effective, alternative to traditional treatment For many people struggling with ADHD, poor focus, insomnia or emotional dysregulation, the path ...

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 ...

Understanding The Role Of Neurofeedback Technology In Addressing ADHD - Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent challenge in today's educational and professional landscapes. Most of us are familiar with ADHD, either ...

Neurofeedback gets you back in the zone - Researchers have shown -- for the first time -- that they can use online neurofeedback to modify an individual's arousal state to improve performance in a demanding sensory motor task, such as flying ...

Association of carotid revascularization with epilepsy and seizures in patients with carotid stenosis - OBJECTIVE: The potential influence of carotid stenosis on seizure or epilepsy outcomes and whether revascularization modifies this risk remain understudied.

Psychological and trauma-related differences in psychogenic nonepileptic seizures: An exploratory severity-based comparison - OBJECTIVE: This study examined psychological and trauma-related characteristics of patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) and explored whether a clinically informed severity grouping distinguished distinct psychosocial patterns. PNES patients were compared with individuals with epilepsy and healthy controls.

Seizures, increased interhemispheric synchrony, altered brain transcriptomics and a leaky blood-brain barrier result from loss of ap3b2 in a CRISPR tadpole model of DEE48 - CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that traditional anti-seizure medications designed to alter ion transport and GABA metabolism could be augmented with drugs targeting neuroinflammation, as adjunct seizure control options in infants with DEE48.

Postictal aggression in epilepsy: prevalence, clinical correlates, and psychosocial impact - CONCLUSION: Almost one in eight patients experienced PIA. It was associated with reduced QoL and increased anxiety, highlighting the psychosocial burden.

Diagnostic accuracy of multimodal large language models in differentiating epileptic from functional seizures in smartphone recorded videos - No abstract

A deep representation learning model to predict response to vagus nerve stimulation - Implantable neurotechnologies are increasingly used to reduce seizure burden in pediatric epilepsy. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), the most common option, is effective for only half of patients, with no means to predict outcome prior to surgery. As a result, many children undergo invasive and costly procedures without benefit. Although T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T1w) is routinely a...

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.
