Generalized epilepsy has traditionally been considered a seizure of the "'whole brain.'" However, new research has challenged this longstanding idea, since carefully targeting specific brain areas ...

The field of epilepsy research has rapidly evolved with an appreciation that seizures arise from dysfunctions in distributed ...

Locating the centromedian nucleus (CM) for deep brain stimulation (DBS) is challenging with standard imaging. This review highlights advanced methods—high-resolution MRI, intraoperative ...

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals ...

Clinician-scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool ...

A flurry of coordinated activity in a brain-spanning network of neurons may sound like the formation of a brilliant new idea, but it is actually the description of a seizure. Understanding why and how ...

Doctors could soon reduce epilepsy misdiagnoses by up to 70% using a new tool that turns routine electroencephalogram, or EEG, tests that appear normal into highly accurate epilepsy predictors, a ...

In everyday clinical practice, symptoms are regularly observed after epileptic seizures, known as "post-ictal symptoms", which, in contrast to the usually short duration of seizures, typically last ...

The complexity of the human brain has long been an enigma that neuroscientists have sought to untangle. Now, new technology at UAB will act as a critical tool to help researchers and clinicians ...
