Bilateral Temporal lobe epilepsy (BTLE) cases may result in poor surgical outcomes due to the difficulty in determining/localizing the epileptogenic zone. In this ...

Over the last two decades, it has become increasingly clear that epilepsy is a network disorder. However, it is unclear whether these networks are established only during seizures or persist ...

Dr. Brett Youngerman and researchers from the Columbia Comprehensive Epilepsy Center have led the largest multicenter series to date of magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy ...

Many patients suffer from epilepsy that cannot be controlled by current medications. Surgical removal of epileptogenic brain regions is effective in only about half of cases, and not all patients are ...

“Much like tuning a high-precision radar to detect faint signals, SEEG enables clinicians to record subtle electrical signatures of seizures directly from deep brain structures,” says Dr. Jiajie Mo, ...

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 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 ...

What can be done to control unprovoked seizures in a 55-year-old woman with drug-resistant epilepsy who was admitted to the hospital? The patient's medical history indicated that she had been ...

A new MRI technique developed at the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, England, could improve the detection of brain lesions responsible for focal epilepsy. The new method offers greater precision ...
