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. Read More
Working with patients with electrodes implanted in their brains, researchers show that areas of the brain work simultaneously to recall memories. The approach promises new insights into how we remember details of time and place. Read More
Researchers have identified a new key factor in the generation of febrile seizures. The findings could lead to new therapeutic treatments for fever induced seizures. Read More
Scientists turn EEG recordings of normal and seizure state brain activity into music. The work could lead to a new biofeedback tool to identify brain activity associated with seizures. Read More
A new study reports a potential new treatment for seizures which often occur in children with genetic metabolic disorders and people with liver failure. Read More
Researchers claim to have identified a switch in the brain of people with epilepsy which dictates whether their seizures will be mild or lead to a loss of consciousness. Read More
Researchers discover a link between the dynamics of seizures and spreading depression associated with migraine auras. Read More
Stimulating the thalamus and other areas of the brain stem connected with wakefulness can help bring rats back to consciousness after a seizure, new research reports. Read More
A new study explores the reliability of optogenetics as an intervention for temporal lobe epilepsy. Read More
Researchers report cannabidiol could help treat children with severe epilepsy who have not responded to other therapies. Read More
For the first time, researchers have successfully stimulated a human amygdala and recorded breathing loss. Their research provides important insight into SUDEP. Read More
According to researchers, brainwaves of people with epilepsy appear to synchronize with music. They believe music could possibly be used as an intervention for those with the disorder. Read More
