EMDR and Neurofeedback Helped Me Become a Better Founder - After that session, my confidence hit a low; I wondered if my company would be better off without me. My team didn’t realize that besides managing the major growth of the company, over the last eight ...
What Is Neurofeedback? - Whenever I mention that neurofeedback helped me regain my life after my multiple brain injuries — or that I’m now a neurofeedback provider — the first reaction is to ask me, what is neurofeedback? I’m ...
Neurofeedback Gains Popularity and Lab Attention - You sit in a chair, facing a computer screen, while a clinician sticks electrodes to your scalp with a viscous goop that takes days to wash out of your hair. Wires from the sensors connect to a ...
Brain training with neurofeedback shows enhanced benefits on cognitive functions - Neurofeedback has been used for decades to reinforce healthy brain functions. With previous research reporting a positive correlation between enhanced brain activities during brain training and ...

KCNA3 Gene Polymorphism Affects the Efficacy and Plasma Concentration of Perampanel in Patients With Refractory Epilepsy -
CONCLUSIONS: The KCNA3 rs2821557 polymorphism is an important predictor of the therapeutic efficacy of PER in controlling epileptic seizures and a determinant of the attainment of therapeutic plasma PER concentrations.
The Spatial Divergence of Hypometabolism and Atrophy in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Combining (18)F-FDG PET and Structural MRI for Predicting Postoperative Seizure Freedom - Surgical failure in temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (TLE-HS) may reflect insufficient disruption of epileptogenic networks. We investigated whether integrating quantitative spatial patterns of regional atrophy and hypometabolism, along with clinical features, could provide complementary prognostic information for postoperative seizure freedom. T1-weighted MRI, ^(18)F-FDG-PET, ...
Electroclinical Dissociation in Generalized Epilepsy: A Video-EEG Case From Sub-Saharan Africa - CONCLUSION: Diagnostic evaluation of FDS should rely on a positive "rule-in" framework as recommended by international guidelines. Even when epileptiform discharges appear on EEG during clinical events, a lack of physiological congruence between electrographic patterns and semiology confirms electroclinical dissociation.
The ketogenic diet ameliorates behavioral abnormalities in a PTZ-induced zebrafish larvae model via modulating neurotransmitter balance - CONCLUSION: We established a PTZ-induced amphibian epilepsy model with KD intervention. KD exerts anti-epileptic effects, likely mediated partially by rebalancing central nervous system neurotransmitter homeostasis, providing a valuable translational platform for further mechanism research.
Concomitant Antiseizure Medications' Influence on Valproic Acid and Levetiracetam Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients - CONCLUSION: Concomitant enzyme-inducing ASM significantly reduced dose-normalized trough concentrations of VPA and LEV, while neutral co-medications had no effect, highlighting the importance of TDM in pediatric combination therapy.
Post-Stroke Epileptogenesis as a Dynamic Network Process: State-Dependent Biomarkers, Longitudinal Monitoring, and the Concept of an Irritable Brain State - Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is one of the most common long-term neurological complications of stroke and represents a major contributor to disability, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare burden. Although numerous risk factors and biomarkers have been proposed, many current risk models still emphasize lesion-related predictors and do not fully account for the temporal evolution of p...

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.
