How virtual reality is changing brain-training technology - Integrating virtual reality into brain-training therapies can make the experience more enjoyable and engaging for users. A recent review published in the journal Applied Psychophysiology and ...

Camelback Recovery Launches Neurofeedback Therapy at Its Phoenix Treatment Center - Camelback Recovery has launched neurofeedback therapy at its Phoenix treatment center, expanding the care options available within its mental health and addiction programs. Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile ...

Can Neurofeedback Effectively Treat ADHD? - Neurofeedback training is an alternative therapy that uses real-time EEG data to help patients train their brains to improve focus, impulse control, and executive function. Since the 1970s, patients ...

Testing a brain training device for better focus sleep and relaxation - A detailed review of a neurofeedback headband exploring how brain training technology works and the creator’s experience using it for focus relaxation sleep and mental performance. #Neurofeedback #Men ...

Muse Treatment Publishes New Neurofeedback Resource Following 2026 Addiction Research and Changing Overdose Trends - LOS ANGELES, CA - September 14, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Muse Treatment has published a new educational resource ...

Maternal health literacy and antiepileptic medication adherence in children with epilepsy: A correlational study - CONCLUSIONS: Better health literacy of mothers is associated with better medication adherence in children with epilepsy.

Roadmap for functional neurological disorders: Shared circuitry and future directions - Functional Neurological Disorders, or FND, have become accepted in the vernacular of medicine. Although in the past, they were considered less valid than other conditions, now they are present among the differential diagnoses of most illnesses in neurology and psychiatry. Diagnostic approaches have markedly changed as phenotypic profiles become more consistent. Treatment strategies include phar...

Deep brain stimulation outcomes in pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy: A systematic review and meta-analysis - OBJECTIVE: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an emerging treatment option for pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), but evidence regarding its long-term efficacy and safety remains limited. We aimed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of DBS in children with DRE at a minimum follow-up of 12 months.

Antiseizure medication use during hospitalization and at discharge in critically Ill children undergoing continuous EEG monitoring - CONCLUSION: ASM use in critically ill children was common and associated with clinical and electrographic seizures/SE but frequently extended beyond documented seizures. Levetiracetam predominated as the first-administered ASM, and many treated patients received multiple ASMs. ASM prescribing at discharge remained common and was associated with seizures and structural etiology. These findings d...

Glycerol Phenylbutyrate Treatment in a Pediatric Cohort of SLC6A1-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder - CONCLUSIONS: Glycerol phenylbutyrate treatment is relatively well tolerated, and although it is effective in reducing the frequency of seizures and improving video-electroencephalogram abnormalities, it is less effective in ameliorating cognitive and psychiatric manifestations.

Losartan's regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling underlies its combined anti-seizure and antidepressant effects in epileptic rats - CONCLUSION: Losartan may attenuate both seizures and depression-like behaviors in epileptic rats by activating the hippocampal PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and inhibiting neuronal apoptosis. These results highlight its potential as an adjunctive therapy for epilepsy with comorbid depression.

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.
