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 Does a Neurofeedback Technician Do? -
Neurofeedback is about helping a client's brain learn to self-regulate by showing it its own EEG activity on a screen or through headphones. It is like going to the gym for your brain. It is not a ...
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 ...

Bioactivity-guided Isolation of Anticonvulsant and Anxiolytic Constituents from Stachys and Teucrium species -
CONCLUSION: The findings provide experimental evidence supporting the traditional use of S. byzantina in neurological disorders and identify chlorogenic acid as a major bioactive constituent contributing to its anticonvulsant activity. These results highlight the therapeutic potential of S. byzantina as a source of plant-derived anticonvulsant and neuroprotective agents and warrant further phar...
Neuropsychological practice mirrors the changing landscape of epilepsy: Temporal trends in a level-4 epilepsy center from 1986 to 2024 -
CONCLUSION: Over four decades, the referred population changed markedly: fewer surgical referrals, older patients, more new- and late-onset epilepsies, and more focused, less severe impairment. Neuropsychological practice shifted accordingly, from predominantly presurgical risk assessment toward targeted baseline testing and longitudinal monitoring of disease and treatment effects. The main fut...

Impact of medium-chain triglyceride with and without ketogenic diet in the management of drug-resistant epilepsy: a systematic review -
CONCLUSION: MCT-based interventions may offer a flexible option for DRE. Low-certainty evidence suggests that MCT KD may achieve seizure outcomes similar to CKD, but equivalence remains unproven. Evidence for MCT supplementation without a strict KD is very uncertain.
Keyhole approach for total corpus callosotomy -
CONCLUSION: CC conducted via the KA was shown to be an effective technique for treating medically refractory epilepsy with a shorter incision, smaller craniotomy, less blood loss, shorter operative times, shorter hospital stays, and a lower incidence of complications. The seizure outcome of CC via the KA for medically refractory epilepsy is not inferior to that of the TA.
Direct cortical stimulation-evoked symptoms in the human temporal pole: A systematic review -
The temporal pole represents a key node within temporolimbic networks and may contribute to seizure generation in temporal lobe epilepsy. Direct cortical stimulation (DCS), performed during intracranial presurgical evaluation, is a valuable method for delineating the seizure onset zone by reproducing electro-clinical features of a patient's habitual seizures. However, data specifically addressi...
