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 ...

Clinical practices in prehospital rescue medication use for pediatric status epilepticus in Japan: a nationwide questionnaire survey -
CONCLUSIONS: Prehospital rescue medication prescribing is primarily guided by seizure duration rather than diagnostic categories. Variability in caregiver instructions highlights the need for clearer guidance to optimize prehospital seizure management.
Role of guidelines, legislation, litigation and mechanisms for SUDEP communication in the UK and in the USA: A state-of-the-art review - CONCLUSION: No single intervention is likely to prevent SUDEP. Patients and bereaved families value discussions about SUDEP, yet legislation and litigation highlight shortcomings in these conversations. Evidence-based communication focused on modifiable risk factors may help reduce premature mortality, including SUDEP.
Multilayer Validation Reveals a Glia-Associated Secretome Signature in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy - Although multi-omics studies have increasingly revealed molecular alterations associated with epilepsy, clinically accessible cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers that are stably detectable and biologically relevant remain scarce. This study aimed to identify measurable biomarkers associated with epilepsy-related molecular alterations. Kainic acid (KA)-induced mouse model, single-cell RNA seque...
Co-Creation of the EpiCom Clinical Trial: Bringing the Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Patient Community, Healthcare Professionals, and the Pharmaceutical Industry Together - CONCLUSIONS: Proactively involving PAGs, caregivers, and HCPs enabled the co-creation of a study that explicitly addresses outcomes important to the broader TSC community. This patient- and caregiver-informed approach of EpiCom also highlights the need for stronger collaboration between industry and PAGs in clinical trials, including the opportunities and challenges of trial implementation.
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Type 2 Presenting as Seizure in a Child: Diagnostic Pitfalls - BACKGROUND: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a rare inherited arrhythmogenic disorder. In children, it is often misdiagnosed as epilepsy due to convulsive syncope triggered by exercise.
Gut microbiome alterations in canine idiopathic epilepsy: a pairwise case-control study - CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest a relationship between gut microbiomes and IE. However, the specific mechanism needs to be further investigated.

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.
