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 ...

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 ...

Elite athletes enhance their performance with 'neurofeedback'—and you can get a device for $99 - When you think of the training tools that professional athletes have at their disposal, high-tech sports equipment and state-of-the-art athletic facilities come to mind. But training for peak ...

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 ...

Brain training with neurofeedback shows enhanced benefits on cognitive functions - Neurofeedback has been used for decades to reinforce healthy brain functions. With previous research reporting a positive correlation between enhanced brain activities during brain training and ...

Misinformation about seizures and epilepsy on the web: The need for systematic quality management - No abstract

Antiepileptic potential of salicylhydroxamic acid: genomic, molecular docking, and functional evaluations in pentylenetetrazole-induced adult zebrafish - Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that causes disturbances in the electrical activity, leading to neuronal excitability and damage, resulting in a global burden. In the present situation, the treatment of epilepsy focuses on the development of biomarkers and new antiepileptic drug candidates for enhanced diagnosis and treatment. This study aims to determine the potential therapeutic e...

Super-refractory Status Epilepticus in Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome Triggered by Influenza A: A Pediatric Case Report - Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a rare cause of new-onset refractory status epilepticus following a febrile illness. We report the case of a previously healthy three-year-old boy who developed focal seizures in the context of a confirmed Influenza A infection, rapidly progressing to super-refractory status epilepticus. Initial investigations, including cerebrospinal fluid...

Delayed-Onset Cefepime Neurotoxicity in a Patient With Epilepsy and ESRD - Cefepime is associated with central nervous system toxicity, particularly in patients with renal impairment. Cefepime-induced neurotoxicity (CIN) can manifest as seizures, encephalopathy, and other neurologic disturbances, often mimicking other conditions in complex patients. In this case report, we report a 42-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, systemic lupus erythema...

Stroke and its consequences: protocol and pilot data of the observational Berlin Long-term Observation of Vascular Events (BeLOVE) stroke stratum - INTRODUCTION: Following a cerebrovascular event, the associated risks for further major adverse cerebro- and cardiovascular events and death (MACE) and important aspects of cognitive, mental and patient-reported outcomes are currently not understood, particularly long-term. Here, we present the study design of the ongoing Berlin Long-term Observation of Vascular Events (BeLOVE) stroke stratum a...

Cognitive Mediation of Biopsychosocial Determinants of Quality of Life in Epilepsy - CONCLUSION: Cognitive function mediates the impact of various biopsychosocial (BPS) factors on the quality of life of patients with epilepsy. This finding suggests that clinical management should place greater emphasis on improving patients' cognitive function to enhance their overall quality of life.

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.
