Between 10 and 35% of comatose survivors of cardiac arrest have rhythmic and periodic EEG patterns. Whether intensive antiseizure treatment could improve neurologic outcomes is unknown. New research ...

Sleeping patterns and stress hormones could be the key to understanding how and when people with epilepsy are likely to experience seizures, a new study reveals. Researchers used mathematical modeling ...

Studies have established ties between epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but how the two relate in time and what exactly is the nature of seizures in AD patients remain poorly understood. A report ...
