A new study reveals CBD oil may help to reduce, or even eliminate seizures, in those with epilepsy.
A new mathematical algorithm examines data from EEG and brain implants to learn each epilepsy patient's unique brain pattern signatures. The system can predict the onset of a seizure within an hour, allowing the patient to take necessary interventions.
Researchers believe they have established a causal link between gut bacteria and seizure susceptibility. The study also identifies a specific bacteria that plays a critical role in the anti-seizure effects of the ketogenic diet.
Adults who experienced traumatic events, including abuse and household dysfunction, as children had an increased risk of developing neurological conditions later in life. Additionally, researchers found a significant link between childhood trauma and depression and anxiety in adulthood.
Researchers have developed a computational model which can more accurately predict when the next epileptic seizure will occur by using a patient's personalized medical information.
A new study reports the Ketogenic diet can help to improve cognition. The study reports the Ketogenic diet can help improve balance in the gut microbiome, lower blood glucose levels and increase the processes that help to clear amyloid beta from the brain.
Social isolation caused by housing animals alone increases stress and epilepsy in rodent models. The effects of social isolation may negatively impact the results of preclinical drug trials that use these animals.
An observational study reports the use of strobe lighting at concerts and music festivals triples the risk of seizures in those with photosensitive epilepsy. Additionally, the use of ecstasy during nighttime concerts heightened epileptic seizure risk.
Both sleep and seizures reduce heart rate, a new study into mortality and epilepsy reveal. Seizures also disrupt the natural regulation of sleep-related changes. This can sometimes prove deadly and increase the risk of sudden death in epilepsy patients.
A new study in Scientific Reports reports T.gonfii infection may alter, or even amplify some neurological disorders including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Researchers have developed a computer model that provides insight into how cooling specific areas of the brain could help to treat epilepsy.
A new study looks at how a gene associated with bipolar disorder affects the balance between inhibition and excitation; revealing a link with epilepsy.
