Researchers at UTA are conducting a study designing a new technique to identify seizure-inducing regions of children’s brains. Christos Papadelis, bioengineering professor of research, is studying new treatments for epilepsy with help from doctoral student Ludovica Corona. Their new methods aim to identify which areas of the brain cause a patient’s seizures using noninvasive techniques […]
It’ll change how some scenes are displayed on your TV While Apple TV software updates aren’t known for adding fancy new features, the tvOS 16.4 release has brought with it one very important addition. Apple recently released tvOS 16.4 to the public after a weeks-long beta program, and while it isn’t what anyone would call […]

Male and female brains are also different when it comes to epilepsy. And these differences are already formed during a pregnancy: thanks to the hypothalamus which is the cortical region that controls all our peripheral glands, the brain therefore differentiates into female and male. The main difference can be found above all in the onset […]
Summary: Higher levels of immune proteins are present in the blood both before and after an epileptic seizure. Researchers say the biomarkers can be identified via a simple blood test. Source: Lund University Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have discovered higher levels of immune proteins in the blood before and after an epileptic seizure. The possible […]
