Using Seizure-Risk Forecasts to ID Best Time for Epilepsy Monitoring -
NASHVILLE, Tennessee ― Scheduling video-electroencephalography (vEEG) monitoring on the basis of personalized seizure risk forecasts may improve diagnostic accuracy, emerging research suggests. In a ...
Does Levetiracetam Improve Seizure Outcomes in Pediatric Epilepsy? -
Although levetiracetam was associated with improved seizure outcomes compared with placebo in pediatric epilepsy, it did not demonstrate superior efficacy when compared with established active ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Determining meaningful neuropsychological changes following epilepsy surgery for Chinese-speaking patients in Taiwan -
CONCLUSION: This study developed and demonstrated the clinical applicability of disease-specific, population-specific RCI and SRB indices for Traditional Chinese-speaking patients with TLE. These indices provide a standardized framework for accounting for practice effects, regression to the mean, and test-retest variability when interpreting meaningful cognitive changes following epilepsy surgery.
Bilateral lingual epilepsy following traumatic brain injury -
Lingual seizures are an uncommon form of focal motor epilepsy. Although classically associated with infective, neoplastic or vascular causes, it may follow traumatic brain injury. A 37-year-old man had sustained a severe brain injury when aged 2 years. Following a generalised tonic-clonic seizure at the age of 9 years, he subsequently had brief and recurrent episodes of bilateral lingual twitch...
Nonconvulsive status epilepticus featuring ictal paresis mimicking a stroke -
CONCLUSION: IP represents an under-recognized manifestation of NCSE. This study shows that perfusion-based neuroimaging is more sensitive than EEG for detecting ictal activity in this setting. We advocate for the routine inclusion of ASL sequences in the neuroimaging evaluation of patients with a suspected stroke and negative DWI findings.

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.
