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 ...

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 ...

EU epilepsy care gap leaves 40% with treatable seizures - As the EU turns global brain health commitments into national action, member states remain far apart on epilepsy care ...

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 ...

Neuron Connect Expands Access to Advanced Brain Health Technology Through Strategic Healthcare Partnerships - Scottsdale, AZ, USA, July 15th, 2026, FinanceWireThe Arizona-based company is helping physicians integrate brain mapping, ...

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 ...

Structural optimization and anticonvulsant evaluation of aminoalkyl indole derivatives - A series of twenty-two novel aminoalkyl indole derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized via Friedel-Crafts acylation followed by nucleophilic substitution, targeting the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) as a novel approach for anticonvulsant therapy. Systematic structural optimization of the indole C-3 cycloheptanecarbonyl moiety and the N-1 aminoalkyl side chain was conducted to balan...

Astrocytic circular RNA SLC8A1 boosted CEBPB/NLRP3-triggered pyroptosis by stabilizing PTBP1 to drive neuroinflammation in temporal lobe epilepsy - CONCLUSION: Our findings identify a novel circSLC8A1/PTBP1/CEBPB signaling axis that mediates astrocytic inflammation and pyroptosis in TLE. Targeting circSLC8A1 may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for epilepsy.

The role of Vagus nerve stimulation in epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia - A case series - CONCLUSIONS: From this small case series of patients with EEM, four (33.3%) were responders to VNS, with improvement noted in multiple seizure types. This indicates the potential role of VNS for patients with EEM.

Quality of life and depressive symptoms in older adults: findings from an integrated epilepsy self-management data set - CONCLUSIONS: Among OAWE, depressive symptoms are strongly linked to reduced QOL. These findings underscore the importance of integrated mental health screening and intervention for OAWE.

Socioeconomic status and time to epilepsy surgery in Australia: A retrospective tertiary centre cohort study - OBJECTIVES: Delayed surgery in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. While health system and clinician-related contributors to delays are recognised, the impact of patient-level factors remains unclear. This study examined the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and time to epilepsy surgery at an Australian tertiary centre.

Caregiver preferences and training needs in the administration of rescue medication for prolonged convulsive seizures in children and adolescents with epilepsy: Results from a multinational survey - CONCLUSION: This survey underscores a strong caregiver preference for buccal midazolam in pediatric out-of-hospital settings. However, caregiver training remains a substantial unmet need, and standardized programs could improve preparedness for managing prolonged seizures. These findings reinforce the importance of integrating caregiver perspectives to optimize emergency pediatric epilepsy care.

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.
