Researchers have found a naturally occurring protein, know as diazepam binding inhibitor, secreted only in discrete areas of the brain may act as a Valium-like break in certain types of epilepsy.
A new study explores which of the two main patterns of brain activity may be seen during the onset of an epileptic seizure.
Scientists have observed the neurological mechanism behind temperature-dependent febrile seizures by genetically engineering fruit flies to harbor a mutation analogous to one that causes epileptic seizures in people. Their new study also highlights the first use of genetic engineering to swap a human genetic disease mutation into a directly analogous gene in a fly.
By turning skin cells of patients with Dravet syndrome into neurons, researchers create a miniature testing ground for epilepsy
Halting neurogenesis following TBI can help reduce epileptic seizures, a new study reports.
UC Irvine neuroscientists have developed a way to stop epileptic seizures with fiber-optic light signals, heralding a novel opportunity to treat the most severe manifestations of the brain disorder.
Researchers look at evolving epileptic brain networks to obtain a better understanding of brain activity in those with epilepsy.
The first two stereo-EEG explorations in Finland were carried out by neurosurgeons of the Epilepsy surgery team in Helsinki University...
A new study found adults in sub-Saharan Africa who had been exposed to parasitic disease were 1.5 to 3 times more likely to have epilepsy.
In a promising finding for epileptic patients suffering from persistent seizures known as status epilepticus, researchers reported today that new medication could help halt these devastating seizures.
Researchers published a study outlining how a new type of non-invasive brain scan taken immediately after a seizure gives additional insight into possible causes and treatments for epilepsy patients.
How well people with newly diagnosed epilepsy respond to their first drug treatment may signal the likelihood that they will...
