New brain training study could help explain the placebo effect - Increasing activity in a deep-brain region can boost the immune system’s response to vaccines—and people can be trained to do it themselves using the power of brain scans and positive thinking, ...

Rewiring Your Brain: Neurofeedback Goes Mainstream - Will Strahl walked up to my door with a massive black briefcase in his hand, the kind you could use to tote a dirty bomb. Once inside my living room, he cracked open the case and removed a laptop, a ...

Clinical outcomes and learning curve of MRgLITT system for drug-resistant epilepsy in China: A single-center retrospective study - OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is a minimally invasive technique that allows for real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) monitoring and precise ablation of epileptogenic lesions. This study reports our initial clinical experience with a domestically developed MRgLITT system in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) and evaluates its eff...

Generalized tonic-clonic seizure accompanied by prolonged nonconvulsive status epilepticus: A unique electroclinical phenotype of genetic generalized epilepsy? - No abstract

Validation of SeLECT score and its modification for predicting unprovoked epileptic seizures in patients after ischemic stroke - Vascular epilepsy represents a significant late complication of ischemic stroke. SeLECT score is an important prediction model for late poststroke seizures. The study aimed to validate the ability of the SeLECT score, its parameters, and other selected biomarkers to predict the occurrence of unprovoked epileptic seizures in patients after ischemic stroke. Retrospective analysis of consecutive s...

A case of childhood hyperekplexia due to a novel nonsense variant in the GLRA1 gene - RATIONALE: Hyperekplexia is a rare hereditary neurological disorder characterized by an exaggerated startle response and generalized rigidity. It is frequently misdiagnosed as epilepsy, leading to unnecessary treatment. We report a case of mild hyperekplexia caused by a novel GLRA1 mutation, highlighting the diagnostic value of genetic testing in atypical presentations.

MRI-guided laser ablation for pediatric intracranial pathology: single center experience - CONCLUSIONS: MRgLITT demonstrated favorable safety and indication-specific outcomes for pediatric epilepsy, tumors, and cavernous malformations in this single-surgeon series. These findings support its role as both a primary and adjuvant treatment in pediatric neurosurgery.

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.
