Childhood Disorder Called PKD that Causes Epileptic Seizures Linked to Genetic Mutations A large, international team of researchers led by...
Halting neurogenesis following TBI can help reduce epileptic seizures, a new study reports.
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.
Researchers look at evolving epileptic brain networks to obtain a better understanding of brain activity in those with epilepsy.
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.
Maxim Bazhenov and Giri Krishnan used computational model to study epileptic seizures at the molecular level; research could lead to...
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.
Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center report that molecular disruptions in small neurons called granule cells – located in the dentate gyrus region of the brain – caused brain seizures in mice similar to those seen in human temporal lobe epilepsy.
By turning skin cells of patients with Dravet syndrome into neurons, researchers create a miniature testing ground for epilepsy
How well people with newly diagnosed epilepsy respond to their first drug treatment may signal the likelihood that they will...
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.
