Generalized epilepsy has traditionally been considered a seizure of the "'whole brain.'" However, new research has challenged this longstanding idea, since carefully targeting specific brain areas ...
Recurrent seizures are debilitating and can sometimes, be fatal. The onset and presentation of seizures vary significantly among epilepsy patients. Of more than 25 categories of seizure presentations ...

-- New approval for VIMPAT® (lacosamide) CV in the U.S. as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (PGTCS) in patients four years of age and older -- All three ...
Impaired consciousness has long been considered the hallmark of epileptic seizures. Both generalized seizures and complex partial seizures are characterized by a multifaceted spectrum of altered ...
Patients with refractory partial and secondarily generalized seizures had a reduction in seizures after deep brain stimulation, according to new research. This multi-center clinical trial determined ...
Neuroimaging has transformed our understanding of generalized epilepsy syndromes, revealing that they arise from the dynamic interplay of widespread brain networks rather than isolated foci. Advances ...
MANY of the basic works in neurology comment on the rarity of seizures in chronic subdural hematoma. 1–3 Indeed, it is almost a maxim in many neurologic centers that the two are only rarely associated ...
A seizure is a sudden change in the brain's normal electrical activity. During a seizure, brain cells "fire" uncontrollably at up to four times their normal rate, temporarily affecting the way a ...
