Tech/AI
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can detect two-thirds of epilepsy brain lesions doctors often miss.
Genetics, Pediatric Epilepsy, Rare Epilepsies
The findings highlight the diagnostic importance of identifying chromothripsis in neurological disorders, such as DEE, that are associated with chromosomal alterations.
Mechanisms
A UCLA Health research team has identified changes in brain rhythms that indicate seizure activity in Alzheimer's patients.
SUDEP
Dr. Edward Glasscock and Southern Methodist University (SMU) colleagues recently led a study identifying neurons in regions of the brain that govern everything from emotions to heart rate that may underlie SUDEP.
Genetics
The research identified two novel genes, DYRK1A and EGFR, and their genetic mutations that were linked to epileptic brain lesions.
Acquired Epilepsies, Treatment
Scientists have shown that a cell therapy derived from stem cells can restore normal patterns of brain activity after a stroke.
Mechanisms
Researchers demonstrated that individuals who had childhood epilepsy have an increased accumulation of brain amyloid later in life, potentially predisposing them to late-onset brain amyloid disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Genetics, Tech/AI
A method to profile gene activity in the living human brain has been developed by researchers at FutureNeuro, the Research Ireland Centre for Translational Brain Science and RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, in collaboration with international partners.
