A new MRI technique developed at the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, England, could improve the detection of brain lesions responsible for focal epilepsy. The new method offers greater precision ...

For patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) that can't be controlled by medications, a minimally invasive laser procedure performed under MRI guidance provides a safe and effective ...

Seizures during childhood fever are usually benign, but when prolonged, they can foreshadow an increased risk of epilepsy later in life. Now a new study suggests that brain imaging and recordings of ...

Medically refractory focal epilepsy is potentially curable by surgery. This Review considers the application of recent advances in structural and functional brain imaging to increase the number of ...

A new technique has enabled ultra-powerful magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners to identify tiny differences in patients' brains that cause treatment-resistant epilepsy. In the first study to use ...

In patients with chronic epilepsy, MRI-based detection of an underlying brain lesion can offer the potential for surgical treatment, but a substantial proportion of patients have normal MRI scans. A ...

Brain imaging and recordings of brain activity could help identify children at risk for epilepsy after febrile fits, say scientists. "Our goal has been to develop biomarkers that will tell us whether ...

EpilepsyGTx, a biotechnology company developing cutting-edge gene therapies to treat refractory epilepsy, and ClearPoint ...

There are just over 3 million Americans with epilepsy who experience seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. A smaller group of people also have seizures not caused by epilepsy – ...

A review of MRI scans of the site of ictal hyperperfusion determined by SPECT might reveal a previously occult abnormality. If the identified area is not close to eloquent cortex, resection can be ...
