Seizure-induced neuronal death may involve engagement of the BCL-2 family of apoptosis-regulating proteins. In the present study we examined the activation of proapoptotic BAD in cultured hippocampal ...

In the present study, to investigate whether systemic inflammation correlates with seizure activity, we established a new eclampsia-like model using electrical stimulation. We measured systolic blood ...

Two new studies demonstrate a need for more vigilant monitoring for seizure activity among intensive care patients who may be experiencing subtle seizures that are typically unrecognized. These subtle ...

Scientists have announced a significant advance in our understanding of epilepsy, as they have identified a potential method of preventing damaging seizure activity. Brain cells are nourished by an ...

AUGUSTA, Ga. (Aug. 16, 2022) – A novel peptide augments the brain’s natural mechanism to help prevent seizures and protect neurons in research models of both Alzheimer’s and epilepsy, scientists ...

An important part of the brain's immune system, cells called microglia constantly extend and retract "branches" from their cell body to survey their environment. Think of an octopus, not moving its ...

The first seizure clinic model enabled rapid diagnosis and treatment for children with epilepsy, according to data presented ...

"Seizure freedom is the goal," Ramsay says. "By adjusting drugs in a proper fashion, that can often be achieved. There's a misconception in people with epilepsy and in some of the non-epilepsy focused ...

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – New research by scientists at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine may have pinpointed an underlying cause of the seizures that affect 90 percent of people with ...

July 21, 2011 — Secondary generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCSs) occur with almost a 30% greater frequency during anovulatory than during ovulatory phases of menstrual cycles, and women with these ...

A novel peptide developed can be delivered by nasal spray to prevent seizures and protect neurons in research models of both Alzheimer’s and epilepsy. The A1R-CT peptide the scientists developed, ...
