Epileptic seizures worsen via the same mechanism by which practice makes perfect, a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine has found. The research, conducted on rodents with ...
Using rapid genome sequencing, researchers evaluate the impact of an expedited genetic diagnosis of infantile epilepsy. Rapid genome sequencing (rGS) testing is feasible to facilitate early diagnosis ...
Absence seizures are thought to, at least in part, be caused by abnormal neuron firing between the thalamus and the cortex. For unknown reasons, neurons in these two brain regions become ...
Absence: 73.1% median reduction in the number of absence seizure ≥3s, p = 0.012 DEE: 63.3% median reduction in major motor seizures REM sleep improvement in patients with Absence Seizures: mean 90% ...
