Fluctuating hormones affect the frequency of seizures at multiple times in women’s lives. So we need to tailor their therapies accordingly.
What you don’t do: Don’t shout at them, don’t put things in their mouth and don’t let them get near things that are sharp or hard in case of a fall.
Shields said the seizure was caused by drinking too much water – which can be a cause in very rare circumstances.
Seizures are like sudden electrical storms in the brain that can cause lasting damage. A set of immune cells in the brain called microglia may provide protection.
CBD isn’t a miracle cure for everything that ails a person – but science shows that it has the potential to help treat a number of health conditions.
People who had COVID were 55% more likely to develop epilepsy or seizures over the next six months than people who had influenza – but the overall risk is still small.
This technique could also be applied to other conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease.
People who get COVID continue to face increased risks of developing some neurological and psychiatric conditions, like psychosis and dementia, for up to two years afterwards.
A legal scholar analyzes the unsealed warrant for the FBI’s recent search of Donald Trump’s home and the list of materials seized there. The implications for Trump are potentially grave.
From figuring out where memories are stored to how sensory information translates to behavior, new technologies are helping neuroscientists better understand how the brain works.
Our team studied the activity of neurons in people with epilepsy. Neurons in the brain regions responsible for triggering seizures were much less diverse.
Because some seizures are relatively subtle, they can go unrecognized, leading to a delay in diagnosis.
Many people with epilepsy are unable to remember what happened immediately before they have a seizure. This may be because seizures and memory use the same pathways of the brain.
Pediatricians say they are getting increasing requests from parents for medical cannabis for kids for a growing list of conditions.
About 470,000 children in the US have epilepsy. Promising advances are being made in the field of epilepsy treatment for children.
New approach to preventing seizures proves effective in mice.
Medical cannabis challenges scientific norms and the usual regulation of medicines.
Epilepsy affects around 70 million people globally, 80% live in developing countries. A shortage of specialists, equipment and drugs complicates effective treatment and management.
Dravet syndrome, first identified by French psychiatrist and epileptologist Charlotte Dravet over 30 years ago, is severe pediatric epilepsy.
