What Is Neurofeedback? -
Whenever I mention that neurofeedback helped me regain my life after my multiple brain injuries — or that I’m now a neurofeedback provider — the first reaction is to ask me, what is neurofeedback? I’m ...
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 Gains Popularity and Lab Attention -
You sit in a chair, facing a computer screen, while a clinician sticks electrodes to your scalp with a viscous goop that takes days to wash out of your hair. Wires from the sensors connect to a ...

'I Didn't Even Associate the Two Together at All': A Qualitative Study of 'Information Work' Undertaken by Parents and Their Children With Epilepsy to Make Sense of Sleep and Seizures -
CONCLUSION: Many children with epilepsy and their parents become highly motivated information seekers; however, they face persistent gaps in credible, relevant and accessible guidance, particularly regarding the role of sleep in epilepsy. In response, they develop their own strategies for gathering, producing and interpreting information, often blending emotional labour, technology use and pare...
MRgLITT for hypothalamic hamartomas: surgical outcomes & divergent pathways for seizure prognosis -
CONCLUSION: MRgLITT is safe and effective for HH-related epilepsy, with lesion-centric (GS) versus network-level (nGS) prognostic pathways. Externally validated nomograms offer actionable tools for clinical decision-making.
Effect of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor on H+- and Cl--transients and epileptiform activity in brain slices of ClopHensor-expressing transgenic mice -
Alterations in H⁺ and Cl^(-) concentrations are implicated in various neurological diseases, including epilepsy. Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are crucial regulators of pH homeostasis, and certain CA inhibitors possess anticonvulsant properties. In this study, we investigated the effect of the CA inhibitor ethoxzolamide (EZA) on Cl^(-) and H⁺ dynamics in hippocampal slices under control conditions ...
Vigabatrin-related MRI changes and tapering strategy in hemispherotomy for infantile spasms: illustrative case -
BACKGROUND: Infantile spasms associated with unilateral structural malformations represent a severe epileptic encephalopathy requiring early definitive treatment. Vigabatrin remains a first-line therapy, yet its reversible neurotoxic effects-linked to GABA-mediated intramyelinic edema-can produce MRI abnormalities that mimic disease progression. Differentiating these drug-related findings from ...
Genetic testing among patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery -
OBJECTIVE: Genetic testing performed to identify the underlying etiology of epilepsy has become increasingly common and is now being recommended as part of the presurgical evaluation for epilepsy surgery. This study aimed to characterize the types of genetic tests performed in patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery and assess how genetic findings have influenced clinical treatment decisions an...
EStiMapp: A practical tool for mapping clinical symptoms evoked by electrical stimulation in intracranial EEG for epilepsy surgery -
CONCLUSIONS: We present an in-house developed workflow and graphical user interface (GUI) to categorize and directly visualize evoked clinical symptoms resulting from electrical stimulation on intracranial electrodes.
