In a first-in-humans pilot study, researchers have identified a sentinel area of the brain that may give an early warning before clinical seizure manifestations from focal epilepsy appear. They have ...

In focal epilepsy, seizures are generated by a localized, synchronous neuronal electrical discharge that may spread to large portions of the brain. In spite of intense research in the field of ...

Continuous intracranial electroencephalography (cEEG) may help pinpoint optimal timing of diagnostic studies and treatment for patients with focal epilepsy, new research suggests. The findings from a ...

Having subtler symptoms, a form of epilepsy that affects only one part of the brain often goes undiagnosed long enough to cause unexpected seizures that contribute to car crashes, a new study finds.

Positive predictive value in detecting epileptogenic focal cortical dysplasia was higher with MELD Graph compared with the existing baseline algorithm. HealthDay News — A graph neural network using ...

Early detection of focal epilepsy may reduce the amount of motor vehicle accidents caused by seizures while driving. The prevalence of seizures while driving (SzWD) prior to diagnosis in people with ...
