Brain tumors: Surgery provides long-term seizure controlA substantial proportion of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) cases are attributable to low-grade brain tumors. Early surgical intervention is recommended for tumor-related TLE, and surgery seems to be associated with a favorable outcome in a high ...
The ultimate goal of epileptology is the complete abolishment of epileptic seizures. This might be achieved by a system that predicts seizure onset combined with a system that interferes with the process that leads to the onset of a seizure. Seizure pred
Figure 1.A 49-year-old male with seizure activity and loss of consciousness. (A) T2-weighted MR image shows infiltrative area of increased signal involving both gray and white matter in the right MCA distribution mimicking infarct. (B) FLAIR sequence reveals mild gyral thickening and surrounding...
Brain abscess.It's possible to get a pocket of infection inside your brain tissue. If so, you may need emergency surgery to carefully drain pus from the area. Otherwise, it can prevent enough blood from flowing to your brain or cause the area to swell. Signs of a brain abscess include ...
Dizziness, headache, seizure, and other symptoms can be caused by a brain tumor, although there are many other reasons why you might experience them. It's often a pattern of symptoms that makes a brain tumor the more likely diagnosis. ...

offering the possibility of precision therapy approaches for disorders of haploinsufficiency. In this Review, we discuss how miRNAs determine and control neuronal and glial functions, how this process is altered in states associated with hyperexcitability, and the prospects for miRNA targeting for the ...

Such electrodes had been used successfully for decades to identify the exact origin in the brain of an epilepsy patient’s intractable seizures. After the initial surgery, the patient stops taking anti-seizure medication, which will eventually prompt an epileptic episode—and the data ...
The average time for complete surgery was 25 min. Female Wistar rats (Charles River, Montreal, Canada) were bred in our laboratory. The rat pups were reared with their dams in a temperature-controlled environment at 21 Ϯ 0.5°C, with a relative humidity of 30%, and a 12-h on/off ...
