Does Levetiracetam Improve Seizure Outcomes in Pediatric Epilepsy? -
Although levetiracetam was associated with improved seizure outcomes compared with placebo in pediatric epilepsy, it did not demonstrate superior efficacy when compared with established active ...
mTORC1 drives cell-autonomous astrocyte reactivity in tuberous sclerosis -
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by focal brain malformations called cortical tubers, which are associated with severe, intractable epilepsy¹. Tubers are thought to result from somatic second-hit mutations that disrupt the TSC1 or TSC2 genes in neural progenitor cells, driving hyperactive mTORC1 signalling². Glial abnormalities are commonly...
How can nurses improve the care of patients with epilepsy through education on physical activity? A scoping review -
CONCLUSION: The available evidence is too limited to determine how consistently nurses recommend physical activity or to characterize their knowledge and attitudes in this area. Studies specifically designed to assess nursing practices and to evaluate individualized, family-centered strategies are needed to clarify how nurses can support safe and sustained physical activity among PWE.

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.
