CURE Epilepsy News, SUDEP
We assembled experts in preclinical and clinical SUDEP research to develop Common Data Elements (CDEs) and Case Report Forms (CRFs) to enable standardization and translation of preclinical SUDEP data.
Acquired Epilepsies, Pediatric Epilepsy
Exploration of the association between early-onset neonatal infection, specifically sepsis and meningitis, and childhood epilepsy.
Treatment, Treatment Resistant/Refractory
Insights into the seizure type-specific effects of hippocampal low-frequency stimulation, and support for the idea that it could contribute to enhanced seizure control and quality of life in Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy patients.
Infantile Spasms, Pediatric Epilepsy, Treatment
Study to evaluate optic nerve injury associated with vigabatrin treatment in children with West syndrome using diffusion tensor imaging.
Genetics, Rare Epilepsies
Scientists have comprehensively studied the function and structure of the citrate transporter encoded by the gene SLC13A5.
Mechanisms
A new study has revealed a significant association between high blood pressure during pregnancy (gestational hypertension) and an increased risk of seizures in children.
Mechanisms
Advances in high throughput metagenomic sequencing, a powerful technology that allows researchers to sequence DNA and RNA rapidly, have increasingly highlighted the role of gut microbiota imbalance in epilepsy.
Mechanisms
New research has shown that the process of insulin resistance in the brain affects both Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy and may be a linking factor between the two diseases.
Genetics, Rare Epilepsies
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital developed a cortical organoid model for UBA5-associated encephalopathy, revealing a new way to possibly address developmental defects.
