Continuous EEG has been suggested for the diagnosis of post-traumatic seizures (PTS) in patients with TBI, especially in those who are receiving neuromuscular blockades. Sensory-evoked potentials (SEP) can yield data on current brain function in very severe TBI patients; however, their use is ...
In contrast, KA serially administered to adult rats caused severe seizures after each of the 4 injections. In immature rats, epileptiform EEG changes were most prominent after the first KA injection, whereas in adults, prolonged paroxysmal EEG patterns were seen after all 4 KA injections. Before ...
Dentate granule cell neurogenesis is increased by seizures and contributes to aberrant network reorganization in the adult rat hippocampus. J Neurosci. 1997;17:3727–38. CAS PubMed PubMed Central Google Scholar Li G, Bien-Ly N, Andrews-Zwilling Y, Xu Q, Bernardo A, Ring K, et al. GABA...
We have excellent skills to extract sex from visual assessment of human faces, but assessing sex from human brain rhythms seems impossible. Using deep convolutional neural networks, with unique potential to find subtle differences in apparent similar pat
It was discovered that the vulnerability of men and women to seizures and epileptogenic cascades varied depending on regional morphology and neural circuits [83]. Disparities in brain development, neurogenesis, neuronal chloride homeostasis, and neurotrophic and glial responses are potential neurobiological ...
other side effects will be necessary. Patients in whom seizure activity has been observed or suspected, the use of anticonvulsant therapy is warranted. The classic agent used to manage seizures is phenytoin; however, newer anticonvulsants such as levetiracetam, pregabalin, lamotrigine, and topiramate ...
ovaries don’t produce much testosterone. So even the females spayed as adults do not have much testosterone present during the critical period for the sex of their brain. Once again, this emphasizes that it is the presence of testosterone during a critical period in brain development that produ...
However, when divided by age, only 2% of children with seizures as the presenting complaint of brain tumors were less than 1 year of age. Three children, ranging in age from 20 days to 7 months and seen within the past 2 years, form the basis of this report. The presenting complaint ...

The article reports developments in the neurocritical care of adults and children with acute brain injury who are experiencing subclinical seizures. Among the factors linked to subclinical seizures are past history of epilepsy, younger age, and interictal epileptiform discharges. The study conducted by ...
