A recent effort, known as Omni-iEEG, brings together pre-surgical brain recordings from eight epilepsy centers, covering 302 ...

The brain reinforces seizure networks during post-seizure sleep by hijacking the same mechanisms used for memory consolidation.

The brain may inadvertently "learn" to have seizures by treating them like important memories to be stored, according to new ...

The research, published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience, reveals that after a seizure occurs, the brain enters a state of deep sleep that mimics the process of memory storage. Instead of ...

New research from Mayo Clinic reveals that the brain may inadvertently "learn" to have seizures by treating them like memories.

Microscopy image of a human stem cell-derived hippocampal organoid. When the tissue carries an epilepsy-causing variant in the SCN8A gene, inhibitory neurons (seen in red) are disrupted, and ...

Professor of Pathology, Lee J. Martin, discusses the prevalence and treatment challenges associated with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at Stanford Medicine have pinpointed a brain region that may drive autism-related behaviors. They report that dialing ...

Identifying childhood epilepsy at an early stage is vital; a late diagnosis can hinder a child's growth and education. Specialists stress that this often-misunderstood brain condition, which faces ...

The gene most strongly correlated with Alzheimer's disease also boosts seizure activity by decreasing levels of ion pumps and energy-producing enzymes in neurons, a new study by researchers at the ...
