What to know about epilepsy and seizure first aid -
November is Epilepsy Awareness Month. Many people may already be aware of the condition from its prevalence in medical dramas, but that portrayal is often exaggerated and does not fully encapsulate ...
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, ...
Expecting Good Things Can Supercharge Your Immune System -
In a first-of-its-kind human trial, researchers have demonstrated that consciously activating the brain’s reward system (when you’re anticipating something good happening) can significantly increase ...
Quality of life in Epilepsy: a comparison between pediatric and adult onset -
Epilepsy can affect people at any age and is known to impact quality of life (QOL). However, variations in QOL across age groups have not been investigated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the contrast between pediatric-onset and adult-onset epilepsy. The Mayo Clinic Arizona database of 568 epilepsy patients admitted to the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit who underwent neuropsychological t...
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.
