New research by the Human Brain Project has found that in the brains of patients with epilepsy, changes in large scale neuronal activations can be detected in the brain's resting state activity, even ...

Despite trying antidepressants and CBT, the “panic” episodes only worsened, especially in the three years before the test.

Seizures can be predicted more than 30 minutes before onset in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, opening the door to a therapy using electrodes that could be activated to prevent seizures from ...

UAB Department of Neurosurgery Professor Kristen Riley, M.D., and Neurosurgery PGY6 Resident Adeel Ilyas, M.D., are among the authors of a recent paper published in NEJM Evidence titled, “Pro-Ictal ...

Many patients suffer from epilepsy that cannot be controlled by current medications. Surgical removal of epileptogenic brain regions is effective in only about half of cases, and not all patients are ...

Boosting KCC2 function reduced seizures and abnormal brain activity in temporal lobe epilepsy models. Learn how this strategy could aid drug-resistant epilepsy.

What can be done to control unprovoked seizures in a 55-year-old woman with drug-resistant epilepsy who was admitted to the hospital? The patient's medical history indicated that she had been ...

The present study was designed to evaluate the genetic mechanisms in patients with focal epileptiform discharges in the mid-temporal or central regions, an electroencephalographic abnormality of high ...

The temporal lobe is part of the cerebral cortex. It plays a role in memory, enables people to process sound and vision, and is crucial for recognizing objects and language. Dysfunction in the ...
