Bilateral detection, prediction, and lateralization of seizures using white matter -
OBJECTIVE: To determine how the corpus callosum handles interhemispheric seizure propagation and to assess its potential as a strategic recording locus for state-dependent biomarkers.
Glycosylation disorders in pediatric epilepsy: pathophysiology, imaging and precision therapy - Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in children and about 30% of children with epilepsy develop drug-resistant epilepsy. Epilepsy resulting from genetic variations and structural brain abnormalities has been extensively studied. Based on the current evidence, however, glycosylation, a major post-translational modification on over 70% of human brain proteins, is necessary for the stabilit...
Association between probable postictal psychosis and subsequent diagnosis of primary psychotic disorders: a retrospective cohort study - CONCLUSIONS: Probable PIP is associated with a heightened risk of subsequent primary psychotic disorders, including interictal forms, within 5 years.
Neuromodulation in Pediatric Epilepsy: When All Is Not About Resection-A Review - Nearly 1% of the global population suffers from epilepsy. There are over 65 million people worldwide with epilepsy and approximately 10.5 million of those are children. One third of these people have drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Neuromodulation is an adjunct treatment option for these patients. This manuscript aims to describe the history, patient/parent perspective, current use, and future d...
Structured Annotation and Information Extraction of Epilepsy Clinical Texts - CONCLUSION: The epilepsy-specific Chinese clinical annotation schema developed in this study demonstrates broad coverage, fine granularity, and high inter-annotator consistency. It effectively supports the training and evaluation of NER models and provides a reusable corpus foundation for the structured analysis of epilepsy medical records and the development of downstream intelligent diagnosti...

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.
