Hyperkinetic Seizures in Insular and Insulo-Opercular Seizure Onset: A Systematic Review -
ObjectiveTo describe demographics, semiology, etiology, and clinical features in individuals with insulo-opercular and pure insular onset presenting with hyperkinetic seizures (HKS).MethodsUnder PRISMA guidelines, Embase, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane were searched for articles between 1969 and January 10, 2025, using terms for hyperkinetic/hypermotor seizures, insular epilepsy, sleep-related h...
Automatic Seizure Detection using Hierarchical Spectral-Temporal Feature Learning with an Imbalance-Aware Transformer - Epilepsy manifests as a chronic neurological condition marked by recurrent seizures. Recent advances in computational analysis of Electroencephalography (EEG) signals have enabled new possibilities for identifying ictal events in extended recordings. This work develops a novel deep learning architecture that simultaneously resolves two fundamental challenges in automated seizure detection: comp...
Qualitative EEG morphology predicts early Antiseizure medication response in newly diagnosed epilepsy: A prospective cohort study - CONCLUSION: In well-defined electroclinical syndromes, qualitative IED morphology appears to provide additional prognostic information regarding early ASM response. These findings suggest that EEG morphology may complement syndrome-based assessment and that variability in spike and sharp-wave morphology may reflect underlying electrophysiological heterogeneity extending beyond fixed syndrome la...
Transcriptional signatures of the cortical morphometric similarity network gradient in left temporal lobe epilepsy with different seizure symptoms - CONCLUSION: FBTCS+ TLE is associated with distinct MS network gradient alterations, which may reflect underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to structural changes linked to severe seizure symptoms.
Editing Out Seizures? Base Editing Shows Promise for SCN8A DEE - No abstract
Case Report: Tocilizumab in pediatric febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome - CONCLUSION: Now little has been known about the administration of tocilizumab in pediatric FIRES. We posit that early administration of tocilizumab (within 3 weeks from disease onset) positively impacts the treatment of FIRES.

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.
