New fMRI neurofeedback study trains the brain to reduce depressive rumination -
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is far from a cookie-cutter diagnosis. Different patients report suffering from different subsets of symptoms, yet most are ultimately prescribed the same first-line ...
Neurofeedback Trains Brain to Stop Depressive Rumination - A new study uses real-time fMRI neurofeedback to help depression patients reduce rumination by training specific brain circuits in a gamified environment.

What Is Neurofeedback Therapy And How Does It Work? - Ashwini Nadkarni, M.D., is a board-certified psychiatrist, Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Interim Vice Chair for Faculty Affairs in the Department of Psychiatry at Brigham and Women ...
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 ...

The outcomes of consecutive pregnancies in Australian women with epilepsy -
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the extent to which seizure control and the occurrence of fetal malformation in an initial pregnancy can serve to anticipate the outcome in the next pregnancy.
Clinical and Molecular Spectrum of Proximal 16p11.2 BP4-5 Copy Number Variations: Insights From a Pediatric Cohort - Copy number variations (CNVs) at the proximal 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 locus are among the most well-characterized genomic regions associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. We aimed to define the clinical and molecular spectrum of these CNVs in a pediatric cohort. A total of 19 patients with pathogenic or likely pathogenic 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 CNVs were identified among 2200 individuals referred for chro...
Apoptosis and Glial Marker Profiles in Hippocampus and Amygdala of Medically Intractable Temporal Lobe Epilepsy - Medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy is associated with potential neuronal and glial damage in key brain structures, including the hippocampus and amygdala. This study aimed to examine apoptosis, caspase expression, and glial activation markers in these regions, and to evaluate their associations with clinical variables. Hippocampal and amygdala tissues from 17 patients with medically i...
Post-neonatal epilepsy in newborns with neurologic conditions: a retrospective cohort study from a tertiary center - CONCLUSION: Regular surveillance of epilepsy in high-risk newborns may aid in early diagnosis and treatment initiation.
De Novo 2.2 Mb 19q13.42-q13.43 Microdeletion Encompassing U2AF2: Support for a Haploinsufficiency Model - U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 2 (U2AF2) is an essential pre-mRNA splicing factor involved in the early stages of pre-mRNA splicing. To date, multiple individuals have been reported with predominantly heterozygous missense variants presenting intellectual disability, speech and motor delays, seizures, hypotonia, and thin or hypoplastic corpus callosum. Here, we describe a patient with 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.
