Perceptions of living with drug-resistant epilepsy and the potential role of neuropalliative care - CONCLUSIONS: Many PWDRE expressed an interest in the potential benefit of palliative care involvement in addition to their routine medical care. Gaps in communication, complex symptom management, and advance directives could be addressed with inclusion of PC approaches and collaboration with a PC team, though further research is needed to demonstrate benefit.
Development and validation of a multimodal data-based scale for predicting epilepsy surgery outcomes - CONCLUSIONS: Multimodal data integration yielded a fully specified, reproducible eight-variable scale with stable discrimination in longer-term follow-up, supporting exploratory use for preoperative risk stratification and counseling alongside presurgical evaluation. Prospective multicenter validation is the next step toward clinical implementation.
Germline Genetic Variants and Epilepsy Surgery Response: Individual Participant Pooled Analysis of 272 Patients - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Genetic testing is increasingly used in presurgical evaluation, but the yield of resection and ablation across germline genetic epilepsies remains uncertain.
More than seizures: sensory processing and modulation in pediatric epilepsy - CONCLUSION: The sensory processing and modulation profiles of children with epilepsy were largely comparable to those of their typically developing peers. As the difference in visual processing scores was not supported by the adjusted analysis or age-referenced classifications, it should be regarded as preliminary and interpreted cautiously; larger studies with more balanced caregiver character...
Atypical Pediatric Epilepsy: A Narrative Review of Classification, Diagnosis, and Emerging Therapeutics - Atypical pediatric epilepsies represent a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by uncommon etiologies, variable clinical presentations, and frequent resistance to standard antiseizure medications. Recent advances in classification, along with developments in genomics, neuroimaging, and autoimmune neurology, have expanded the recognized spectrum of these conditions. However, a signific...

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.
