Seizure action plans: Management and educational tools in epilepsy care - Historically, seizure action plans have focused on certain high-risk groups—such as people with drug-resistant epilepsy and people with a history of status epilepticus or seizure clusters. Neurology ...

What to know about epilepsy and providing first aid during a seizure - Epilepsy is a common neurological condition which leads to seizures. It affects millions of people in the United States and tens of millions worldwide. It's important to know what epilepsy is, how to ...

Seizure Burden in Resistant Epilepsy May Ease With the Tincture of Time - Nearly 70% of patients with focal treatment-resistant epilepsy (FTRE) experience fewer seizures over time, new results of a multicenter study showed. However, the improvements occurred independent of ...

What Is Neurofeedback Therapy And How Does It Work? - Ashwini Nadkarni, M.D., is a board-certified psychiatrist, Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Interim Vice Chair for Faculty Affairs in the Department of Psychiatry at Brigham and Women ...

Study clarifies the benefits of neurofeedback for children with ADHD - The findings are based on the International ADHD Neurofeedback (ICAN) study, which began recruiting in 2014 at two sites. A sample of 142 children aged between 7 - 10 years of age, with ADHD and high ...

In HelloNation, Nervous System Health Expert Dr. Mikala Reznik, PT, DPT, ICP, CRNC Explains Microcurrent Neurofeedback for Focus - Can microcurrent neurofeedback help adults improve focus? A HelloNation article explains how this non-invasive therapy works and what people considering it should expect.

Rewiring Your Brain: Neurofeedback Goes Mainstream - See more of our trusted coverage when you search. Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Will Strahl walked up to my door with a massive black briefcase in his ...

Neurofeedback for ADHD: Significant, Lasting Improvement - Computer-based neurofeedback can produce significant and lasting improvement in attention and focus in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD ...

Clinical Outcome of Epilepsy Surgery of The Temporal Lobe in Paediatric Group: A Retrospective Cohort Study - CONCLUSION: The surgery outcome of epilepsy surgery of the temporal lobe in paediatric group was comparable in this study. Careful patient selection by multidisciplinary evaluations is mandatory.

Beyond Imaging: A 12-Year Clinicopathological Analysis of Surgically Excised Neurocysticercosis - CONCLUSIONS: CNS NCC exhibits diverse clinical and radiological manifestations that may pose significant diagnostic challenges. In surgically excised lesions, histopathological evaluation remains indispensable for definitive diagnosis and provides valuable insights into parasite viability, host inflammatory response, and disease evolution. Our findings underscore the limitations of imaging alo...

Pentylenetetrazole kindling impairs place recognition memory associated with suppressing proBDNF-mediated neural information flows at the hippocampal CA3-CA1 synapses - CONCLUSION: Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis and provide the first direct evidence that the over-activation of proBDNF signaling represents a potential mechanism involved in neural dysfunction and NIF disruption leading to memory impairments in kindled animals.

Modeling Epilepsies with Human Brain Organoids: Recent Advances and Ongoing Challenges - Epilepsy is a common and heterogeneous group of neurologic disorders characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. With a diverse array of genetic and acquired etiologies, the mechanisms linking insults to epileptogenesis and network hyperexcitability remain poorly understood. Although animal models have provided critical insights into seizure generation and disease mechanisms, differences in...

Novel WDR26 variant in a Chinese patient with Skraban-Deardorff syndrome: a case report and literature review - De novo variants of the WDR26 gene leading to haploinsufficiency have recently been associated with Skraban-Deardorff syndrome. The syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder that exhibits a wide range of clinical features including intellectual disability, delays in development, seizures, unusual facial characteristics, weak muscle tone, abnormal walking patte...

Genotypic and Phenotypic Profile of 50 Cases With Chromatin Remodeling Complexes-Related Neurological Disorders - CONCLUSION: CRC-related disorders are primarily caused by variants in the CHD and BAF complexes, with CHD2, ARID1B, and SMARCA2 being the frequently involved genes. The conditions are characterized by GDD/ID and epilepsy, with distinct clinical patterns between the CHD and BAF complexes.

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.
