Advances in computational models may in the future significantly increase the application and efficacy of surgery for patients with drug resistant epilepsy by optimizing the site and amount of cortex to resect, but more research is needed before it achieves therapeutic utility.
New molecules, developed by researchers at Linköping University, have promising properties as possible drugs against epilepsy.
In this work, the researchers have developed a transcriptional map that identifies the precise genetic code of all cell types specifically affected in the disease.
Pediatric Epilepsy
When it comes to childhood epilepsy, the unpredictability of seizure patterns, comorbid conditions, the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), and societal stigma can be emotionally taxing on children and their primary caregivers.
Pediatric Epilepsy
Children's Epilepsy Diagnosis Aid has the potential to improve pediatric epilepsy diagnosis and therefore management and is particularly likely to be useful in the many situations where access to epilepsy specialists is limited.
Pediatric Epilepsy
Genetic engineering techniques have contributed to the now widespread use of zebrafish to investigate gene function, but zebrafish-based human disease studies, and particularly for neurological disorders, are limited.
Pediatric Epilepsy
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have demonstrated how to use standardized reporting of clinical data for seizures caused by a variety of neurological disorders, providing fundamental baseline information that can determine what methods work best for keeping seizures under control.
We demonstrate a practical and moderate-throughput screen for potential antiepileptogenic agents in a rat model of TLE.
