The ultimate goal of epilepsy treatment is to get the patient seizure-free; however, this does not happen in the majority of cases. As such, we should instead aim to reduce frequency of seizures as much as possible to an "acceptable" occurrence, although this will depend on each case. My...
Abnormal or frequent yawning is symptomatic of numerous pathologies, including migraine headaches, stress and anxiety, head trauma and stroke, basal ganglia disorders, focal brain lesions, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, sopite syndrome, and even gastro-intestinal and some infectious diseases...
Neurodevelopmental disorders including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, developmental coordination disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and learning disorders co-occur more commonly than would be expected by chance. The potential causes for this comorbidity suggested in the research literature are genetic...
As adolescence and young adulthood are periods of increased presentation of mental health disorders, including those that are female-specific such as premenstrual dyspho- ric disorder and catemenial epilepsy, it will be imperative to better identify and delineate interactions between adolescent brain ...
Dogs can also suffer from epilepsy, which causes victims to collapse and have spasms. An epileptic attack may involve your dog falling on the ground and paddling with its legs as if it were swimming. Seizures aren’t physically painful for the victim, but they can lead to injury as the vi...
How does the drug development process for biologics differ from the drug development process for small molecule drugs? Hypothesize why some substances are not metabolized, while others are. a. What distinguishes epilepsy from non-epileptic seizures? b. Why...
Why does multi-drug resistance occur? Why is carbon monoxide toxic for humans? a. What distinguishes epilepsy from non-epileptic seizures? b. Why would therapy for each type of seizure disorder be different? Why is it difficult to extrapol...

To be precise, ION does not completely prevent injury, because a certain degree of impairment is necessary to induce changes in the recorded potentials. Thus the main function of ION is to indicate when damage is starting to occur, ideally before it has become irreversible or complete. Jannetta...
