As you know, when we deal with medicine and science, our primary advice is always to be followed by specialists in the field. Never improvise! Health is not a joke. But today we give you some tips not to underestimate these symptoms. Seemingly harmless, they could be hiding something very serious. Headache, mental slowdown, nausea, […]
Psychiatric disorders affect 1 in 3 individuals with epilepsy—and their etiology is multifactorial. Psychiatric disorders represent a major source of disability for individuals with epilepsy. This is reflected in the new International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) definition of epilepsy as a disorder of the brain that is characterized not only by recurrent seizures, but also […]
Drinking alcohol is linked to an increased risk of new-onset epilepsy, with greater consumption tied to greater risk, but more research is needed before any definitive conclusions can be drawn. Results of an updated meta-analysis are consistent with those of a previous meta-analysis but contrast with some prior cohort studies. “Further large cohort studies of […]
Autism spectrum and epilepsy frequently occur together. Both conditions affect brain function and behaviors. However, researchers do not yet fully understand why the two conditions share such a strong link. Autism spectrum disorders, or autism, are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders. Autism can affect a person’s social behavior, speech, cognition, and attention. Epilepsy is a […]
Seizures occur when there is unusual electrical activity in the brain. Nocturnal seizures occur while a person is asleep.1 Since nocturnal seizures occur while a person is in a state of sleep, diagnosis can be challenging, especially if no one is present to observe them. This article reviews the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of nocturnal seizures. […]
Embedded nanoelectronics could advance fundamental neuroscience and enable patient-specific drug screening Since their development more than a decade ago, brain organoids — brain-like structures grown in petri dishes from human stem cells — have helped scientists better understand a range of neurological disorders, including schizophrenia, epilepsy, and autism spectrum disorders. These pea-size bundles of cells […]
