Seizures can be predicted more than 30 minutes before onset in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, opening the door to a therapy using electrodes that could be activated to prevent seizures from ...

A team of researchers from the Florida State University College of Medicine has found that an amino acid produced by the brain could play a crucial role in preventing a type of epileptic seizure.

In temporal lobe epilepsy — a common and debilitating form of the disorder — seizures often cause those affected to lose consciousness. But why that happens has been unclear. In a new study, Yale ...

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 ...

In a retrospective cohort, a clinical heuristic composed of eight binary variables helped identify which patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) were best suited for stereotactic laser ...

Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterised by recurrent episodes of seizures. Most cases of epilepsy do not have a clear cause. The primary pathogenesis of many forms of epilepsy is an ...

Writing for The Conversation (republished below), researchers Jaideep Kapur, director of the University of Virginia Brain Institute, and Anastasia Brodovskaya, a UVA postdoctoral fellow in neurology, ...

SAN DIEGO — Certain musical elements within songs — especially when tied to emotional memories — may trigger a rare form of epilepsy known as musicogenic epilepsy, new research suggested The term ...

Epilepsy is characterized by unprovoked surges of electrical activity resulting in seizures that disrupt the normal connections between brain cells. Its causes include head injury, stroke, metabolic ...

* Seizure spread across the brain, not just origin, drives awareness loss * Findings may inspire //future treatments like brain stimulation Researchers have long known that seizures can affect ...
