Seizure action plans: Management and educational tools in epilepsy care - Historically, seizure action plans have focused on certain high-risk groups—such as people with drug-resistant epilepsy and people with a history of status epilepticus or seizure clusters. Neurology ...

Seizure Burden in Resistant Epilepsy May Ease With the Tincture of Time - Nearly 70% of patients with focal treatment-resistant epilepsy (FTRE) experience fewer seizures over time, new results of a multicenter study showed. However, the improvements occurred independent of ...

Evaluation of metformin for epilepsy prevention or seizure control in people without evidence of diabetes: retrospective cohort study - Background Metformin demonstrates antiepileptogenic (primary prevention) and antiseizure (symptom control) properties in animal models of epilepsy. It is unclear whether these effects translate to ...

Childhood Absence Epilepsy with Coexisting Centrotemporal Spikes: Frequency, Electroclinical Course and Prognosis - CONCLUSION: Centrotemporal spikes were identified in 9% of patients with CAE. Focal seizures were not seen, suggesting that it reflects an EEG trait. Remission of the generalized epileptiform discharges correlates with ASM treatment and seizure outcome is excellent, despite persistence of centrotemporal spikes.

Altered EEG microstate dynamics reflect depressive symptoms in temporal lobe epilepsy - CONCLUSION: Higher depressive symptom burden in unilateral TLE is associated with increased temporal rigidity of the ictal hemisphere-aligned brain microstate, reflecting impaired disengagement of epileptogenic network configurations. These findings suggest that depressive symptoms in TLE may be associated with epilepsy-related disruptions in large-scale neural dynamics.

Ventral anterior thalamic dysfunction distinguishes seizure generalization in temporal lobe epilepsy - OBJECTIVE: Focal-to-bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (FBTCS) in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) involve thalamocortical networks, yet the functional integrity and role of specific thalamic subregions in seizure generalization remain unclear. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated whether thalamic subregion functional connectivity patterns distinguish TLE patients with and without FBTCS and ...

Environmental and treatment-related factors associated with developmental outcomes in genetic epilepsies - OBJECTIVE: The mechanistic effects of genetic variants underlying genetic neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are widely studied, but the contribution of external factors remains largely unexplored.

Cardiovascular events and mortality in adults with late onset seizures: Focus on enzyme-modulating antiseizure medications - OBJECTIVE: Using a Dutch insurance claims registry, we examine whether people with epilepsy have an increased risk of major ischemic cardiovascular events or death compared to people without epilepsy. We also assess whether this risk differs between users of enzyme-modulating and non-enzyme-modulating antiseizure medications (ASMs).

Automated preoperative volumetric analysis as a marker of the seizure irritative zone - CONCLUSIONS: Regions with an increased cortical volume as determined by rapid, automated volumetric analysis were more likely to be part of the seizure network irritative zone. This may represent a novel avenue for a low-cost, non-invasive analysis of patients' seizure networks. Further work is needed to better elucidate the relationship between cortical volumes and seizure networks and determi...

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.
