How Neurofeedback Can Help Troubled Couples Get Back on the Same Wavelength - Dr. David Helfand (left) with a patient. The cap contains 19 electrodes that measure the brain’s electrical activity. Credit: Courtesy When a 10-year romantic relationship ended last spring for ...

Mindmachines.com Introduces Advanced Mental Fitness Gadget for Achieving Deep Meditation States - Dallas, Texas - April 29, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Mindmachines.com has introduced the third generation of its ROSHIwave ...

I'm 24 and tried a bunch of longevity hacks popular in Silicon Valley. Only a few felt worth the money. - I went to a biohacking event in San Francisco to test out the buzziest longevity technologies. From IV drips to ice baths, here's what's worth it.

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 ...

Understanding The Role Of Neurofeedback Technology In Addressing ADHD - Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent challenge in today's educational and professional landscapes. Most of us are familiar with ADHD, either ...

Association between epilepsy duration and glymphatic dysfunction assessed by DTI-ALPS: A systematic review and meta-analysis - CONCLUSION: Longer epilepsy duration is associated with greater glymphatic dysfunction as measured by DTI-ALPS. Age significantly modulates this relationship, suggesting that seizure chronicity and aging-related vulnerability may synergistically influence perivascular clearance pathways. These findings support DTI-ALPS as a promising non-invasive marker of cumulative glymphatic burden in epilep...

Case report: precise mapping and epilepsy surgery of the Broca's area after a comprehensive OPM-MEG investigation of Broca's area localization - CONCLUSIONS: This article underscores the feasibility of using OPM-MEG to record abnormal discharges of seizure and assess language function area in children, especially in drug-resistant epilepsy surgery involving brain functional areas.

Refractory focal seizures occurred in clusters in a girl with a de novo mutation of the ATP6V0A1 gene: a case report - CONCLUSIONS: We identified a patient with DEE104 carrying a de novo ATP6V0A1 mutation, whose clinical presentation included developmental delay, clustered focal seizures, and status epilepticus. Our findings provide further support for considering OXC in the management of ATP6V0A1-related epilepsy.

Piezo1 in the central nervous system: decoding the mechanical signature of neuroinflammation - Neuroinflammation has historically been viewed through a biochemical lens, governed by cytokines and danger signals. While this paradigm has provided foundational insights, integrating the physical dimension of tissue stiffening, hemodynamic shear stress, and compressive forces offers a more complete understanding of the pathological microenvironment of the central nervous system (CNS). In this...

A triple burden in native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander patients with epilepsy: The cardiometabolic risks of obesity, diabetes, smoking, and their association with seizure control - CONCLUSION: NHPI PWE face a disproportionate triple burden of cardiometabolic risks. While all are critical for health, tobacco use was the only factor independently associated with poor seizure control. These findings underscore the importance of culturally tailored smoking cessation programs to address risk as both a behavioral and cardiometabolic condition as a supportive intervention to imp...

Alternating hemispheric focal status epilepticus : An atypical presentation of genetically confirmed case of MERRF syndrome - No abstract

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.
