Mindfulness meditation increases interictal epileptiform discharges in meditation-naive surgical epilepsy patients -
OBJECTIVE: Meditation has widely recognized psychological and neuromodulatory benefits, yet its effects on epileptiform activity remain unclear. This study examined whether novice meditation modulates interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy using intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG).
Multisystem Complications in Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type III: Chronic Respiratory Failure and Intractable Epilepsy - Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive motor weakness with multisystem involvement. Type III SMA, also known as Kugelberg-Welander disease, typically presents in childhood and allows survival into adolescence and adulthood, during which cumulative complications may emerge. We report the case of a 19-year-old female patient with genetically co...
A Medicinal Chemistry Perspective on Anticonvulsant Drug Design: Targets, Mechanisms, and Spiro Compounds - The neurological condition known as epilepsy is typified by frequent, unprovoked seizures brought on by aberrant or excessive synchronized neuronal activity in the brain. It can arise from various causes, including brain injury, tumors, infections, immune disorders, or congenital anomalies. However, in many patients, the underlying cause remains unknown. Epileptic seizures are broadly classifie...
Semiological features of epilepsy seizures and paroxysmal non-epileptic events in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis - AIM: To systematically review evidence on age-specific semiological features of paediatric paroxysmal events assessed by video-electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring, and to identify key features that might help differentiate epileptic from non-epileptic events during clinical assessment of paediatric patients.
A Prospective Evaluation of Glucagon Stimulation Test Safety in Adults With Chronic Moderate-to-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury - CONCLUSIONS: In adults with chronic msTBI, the glucagon stimulation test demonstrates a favourable safety profile with transient, non-severe adverse effects and no serious neurological or metabolic complications. These findings support GST as a safe and practical method for evaluating growth hormone deficiency in this population.
Variational autoencoder for interpretable seizure onset phases detection - CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that a VAE-based approach can produce a meaningful latent space from SEEG data to detect seizures and fast onset patterns, potentially helping clinicians reduce the workload of SEEG review.

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.
