We aimed to evaluate anxiety of parents and children after a first unprovoked seizure and assess the anxiety-reducing effect of a semi-structured follow-up in a first seizure clinic (FSC).
Microglia proliferation during early disease contributes to neurodegeneration, whereas in late chronic disease it contributes to seizures.
The objective of this brief report is to review an assessment paradigm for conducting virtual neuropsychological pre-surgical evaluations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As prenatal exposure to certain older anti-seizure medications (ASMs) has been linked with poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes in children, the use of newer ASMs throughout pregnancy has increased.
Pediatric Epilepsy
Epilepsy surgery during the first few months of life is associated with excellent seizure control, and when performed by highly experienced teams, is not associated with more permanent morbidity than surgery in older infants.

Advances in computational models may in the future significantly increase the application and efficacy of surgery for patients with drug resistant epilepsy by optimizing the site and amount of cortex to resect, but more research is needed before it achieves therapeutic utility.
New molecules, developed by researchers at Linköping University, have promising properties as possible drugs against epilepsy.
