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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

Sturge-Weber syndrome: comparative analysis between clinical manifestations and neuro-radiological findings -
CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort, early-onset epilepsy was highly prevalent. Bilateral leptomeningeal angioma and calcifications were associated with a more severe clinical phenotype, characterized by earlier seizure onset, higher rates of drug resistance, and cognitive impairment. Infratentorial involvement was also associated with increased intellectual disability.
Prognosis of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy: diagnostic methods and treatment -
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy results from perinatal asphyxia and manifests through severe metabolic acidosis or neonatal depression requiring resuscitation. Since this remains a significant cause of mortality and neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy and epilepsy, a multimodal evaluation integrating clinical, biochemical, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging parameters is requi...
Electroclinical recognition of SCN2A, SCN8A, KCNQ2, and KCNQ3 pathogenic variants -
Genetic epilepsies presenting in the neonatal period and early infancy require time-critical, mechanism-aware decisions. Amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) provides continuous bedside screening in the NICU, but its yield improves when seizures are confirmed and characterized with multichannel conventional EEG (referred to here as rEEG; the term "continuous EEG or cEEG" is reserved for prolonged mo...
Neuroimmune and Neurovascular Remodeling After Perinatal Hypoxia: Mechanistic Pathways Linking Early-Life Injury to Epileptogenesis - A Scoping Review -
CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence suggests that perinatal hypoxia is associated with sustained neuroimmune and neurovascular alterations that may contribute to delayed epileptogenesis. Although experimental findings are biologically compelling, longitudinal human validation remains limited. Autonomic manifestations and inflammatory biomarkers should not currently be considered reliable standalone p...
The Potential of Cannabidiol for the Treatment of Psychosis: Endocannabinoid Regulation of Serotonergic Neurotransmission via Serotonin 5-HT1A/2A Receptors -
Cannabis, widely used for both medical and non-medical purposes, primarily contains Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ⁹-THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Δ⁹-THC is the main driver of cannabis abuse and of psychological and physical dependence, whereas CBD has limited abuse potential and is even being investigated as a treatment for cannabis use disorder and other conditions. This review aims to clarify how t...
Formononetin Attenuates Seizure Severity and Cognitive Deficits in PTZ-Kindled Rats with Associated Changes in Oxidative Stress and P2 X 7/IL-1beta/Glutamate Signalling Markers -
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterised not only by recurrent seizures but also by cognitive decline, neuroinflammatory responses, and oxidative stress, implicating the ATP-gated P2 X 7 receptor and downstream inflammasome signalling in epileptogenesis. Utilising the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced kindling model in rats, this research aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective and...
