An abnormal electrical discharge in the brain causes a seizure. There are different types, and each can cause different symptoms. A seizure may result from a medical condition or another issue, such ...

The present study was designed to evaluate the genetic mechanisms in patients with focal epileptiform discharges in the mid-temporal or central regions, an electroencephalographic abnormality of high ...

"Our findings highlight the interconnectedness of heart and vascular health with brain health in middle-aged and older adults," the authors wrote. "The bidirectional associations we observed suggest ...

If you have a first seizure as an adult, it could be an indication of epilepsy, or it may be an isolated episode. Causes in adults include a stroke, head trauma, alcohol withdrawal, brain tumor, or ...

A new automated computer algorithm for the diagnosis of epilepsy from electroencephalogram (EEG) readings ― developed by analyzing multiple expert opinions on thousands of such readings ― has shown ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that can detect subtle brain abnormalities which cause epileptic seizures has been developed. An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that can detect subtle ...

New research shows that in a mouse model of childhood absence epilepsy, brain activity is perturbed between seizures. The researchers speculate that this could underlie cognitive problems of the ...

A team has found a new mechanism responsible for the abnormal development of neuronal connections in the mouse brain that leads to seizures and abnormal social behaviors. A team led by a biomedical ...

A team led by a biomedical scientist at the University of California, Riverside has found a new mechanism responsible for the abnormal development of neuronal connections in the mouse brain that leads ...
