Genetics, Mechanisms, Rare Epilepsies
Using patient-derived stem cells, the researchers generated advanced cellular models of two key brain areas: the cortex and the hippocampus.
Living with Epilepsy
Findings suggest that those with focal epilepsy should expect a long adjustment period as their health care provider determines the best treatment regimen for them.
Acquired Epilepsies, Rare Epilepsies
Adults with unfavorable outcomes had elevated ratios of monocytes relative to lymphocytes. In children, unfavorable outcomes correlated with increased red cell size.
SUDEP
Researchers found that common genetic variation contributes to SUDEP risk, offering new approaches to improve SUDEP risk prediction and to understand the underlying biological mechanisms of SUDEP.
CURE Epilepsy News, SUDEP
We assembled experts in preclinical and clinical SUDEP research to develop Common Data Elements (CDEs) and Case Report Forms (CRFs) to enable standardization and translation of preclinical SUDEP data.
Acquired Epilepsies, Pediatric Epilepsy
Exploration of the association between early-onset neonatal infection, specifically sepsis and meningitis, and childhood epilepsy.
Treatment, Treatment Resistant/Refractory
Insights into the seizure type-specific effects of hippocampal low-frequency stimulation, and support for the idea that it could contribute to enhanced seizure control and quality of life in Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy patients.
Infantile Spasms, Pediatric Epilepsy, Treatment
Study to evaluate optic nerve injury associated with vigabatrin treatment in children with West syndrome using diffusion tensor imaging.
Genetics, Rare Epilepsies
Scientists have comprehensively studied the function and structure of the citrate transporter encoded by the gene SLC13A5.
