From comorbidity to continuum: Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy are connected-now what? - Alzheimer's disease (AD) and epilepsy are increasingly recognized not merely as comorbid conditions but as disorders lying along a shared pathophysiological continuum, characterized by overlapping clinical features, network hyperexcitability, and convergent molecular mechanisms. Although bidirectional interactions between AD and epilepsy are now well established, critical questions remain regar...
Community perspectives and recommendations to reduce epilepsy stigma and enhance effective management of epilepsy in Uganda: A qualitative study - CONCLUSIONS: The community recommendations prioritized as key in improving the care for PWE/AWE in Uganda, aligns with the IGAP. Their adoption is critical in ensuring effective management of epilepsy in Uganda.
Gut-brain axis mediated therapeutic intervention to mitigate the epileptogenesis: insights from Drosophila melanogaster - Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) is a prominent concern in the management of recurrent seizures. Anti-seizure medications (ASM), surgical intervention, and neurostimulation are a few classical remedial measures of epilepsy. Nevertheless, DRE requires immense investigation, a comprehensive understanding of holistic management, and additional therapeutic effects. Dysbiosis, an imbalance of the gut m...
Microtubule-stabilizing drugs suppress convulsions in a C. elegans model of CAMSAP disorders - Recessive, loss of function, genomic variants in CAMSAP1 and 2 (calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated proteins 1 and 2) cause a neurodevelopmental seizure disorder in humans that currently lacks specific treatments. CAMSAP proteins stabilize dynamics of the minus-ends of microtubules and regulate regenerative signaling cascades. We explored microtubule-stabilizing drugs as potential therapeu...
A case of chorea, epilepsy and cerebral atrophy in the work of Ettore Ravenna (1920s) - This study re-examines a rare neuropathological case documented by Ettore Ravenna in 1900, involving a young patient with chorea, epilepsy, and marked frontal lobe atrophy. Using Ravenna's original autopsy notes and the preserved anatomical preparation at the Morgagni Museum of Human Anatomy (Padua), the case is reassessed in light of modern neurological knowledge. Macroscopic examination confi...

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.
