A systematic review of non-invasive biomarkers for seizure forecasting in pediatric epilepsy patients -
INTRODUCTION: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders globally. While medications, surgical interventions, and dietary changes can be successful in controlling seizures, a subset of individuals experience refractory epilepsy and are at increased risk for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Efforts to provide a detection system using devices have been successful at ide...
Growing up without a right hemisphere -
Research on the neuropsychological outcomes of hemispherectomy in childhood has largely focused on the development of language after surgery to the left hemisphere. That work has highlighted both the positive aspects of neural plasticity in that language representation is transferred to the right hemisphere and the negative aspects - the crowding effect- in that aspects of visual-spatial proces...
Susceptibility to seizures and expression of fibroblast growth factor 17 in rats with Cortical dysplasia and its effects on the hippocampal neurons -
CONCLUSION: Rats with CD exhibit decreased Fgf17 expression and increased epileptogenic susceptibility, which may be associated with reduced number of hippocampal neurons.
Electroencephalographic Abnormalities in Children with Single Calcified Neurocysticercosis Lesion: A Cross-Sectional Study -
CONCLUSIONS: There was significant concordance between clinical, electrical, and radiological localization of CNL. Frontal and temporal lobe were most common symptomatic zones for focal epilepsy in this cohort.
Electrophysiological Brain Connectivity and Subjective States Evoked by Electrical Stimulation of the Human Mid-Thalamus -
Recent developments in intracranial EEG (iEEG) allow direct recordings from the human thalamus, offering new insight into thalamocortical relationships in the human brain. In this study, we applied direct intracranial electrical stimulation (iES) to the mid-thalamus, within or close to the mediodorsal nucleus, to examine its impact on conscious experience and causal brain connectivity in 30 pat...
Untreated epilepsy and pregnancy -
CONCLUSIONS: The outcomes of the presence or absence of ASM therapy during pregnancy were not statistically significantly different in relation to the occurrences of seizure freedom and FM but the lower occurrence of FM in the untreated pregnancies was at the P
