Temporal lobe epilepsy, which results in recurring seizures and cognitive dysfunction, is associated with premature aging of brain cells.

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals ...

Eliminating senescent brain cells in animal models showed seizure reduction and cognitive improvement potential.

Here, we review the literature and emerging concepts on bMTLE, some of which were developed during an international workshop held in Catanzaro, Italy, 18–19 September 2008. We emphasize demographic, ...

Clearing out “aged” brain cells dramatically reduced seizures and restored memory in a new epilepsy study.

Scientists from Georgetown University Medical Center have warned that exposure to air pollution can have serious consequences for children's developing brains. However, a new study has shown that ...

In temporal lobe epilepsy — a common and debilitating form of the disorder — seizures often cause those affected to lose consciousness. But why that happens has been unclear. In a new study, Yale ...

Neurona Therapeutics’ epilepsy treatment could be a breakthrough for stem-cell technology. This article first appeared in The Checkup, MIT Technology Review’s weekly biotech newsletter. To receive it ...

In a few people with temporal lobe abnormalities, there is an outpouring of written material. These individuals have a drive to record facts and memories through writing in as precise and objective a ...
