This hub covers epilepsy EEG and MRI: how EEGs and brain imaging help doctors understand seizure patterns and possible causes. Clear explanations of common findings and what research suggests.
Yes. EEGs are a snapshot. Some people need repeat EEGs, sleep-deprived EEGs, or long-term monitoring.
Not always. It raises suspicion and risk, but diagnosis still depends on the full story.
To look for structural causes like scars, malformations, tumors, and stroke-related changes, which can guide treatment.
An inpatient or extended study that records EEG and video together to match symptoms to brain activity.
Researchers studied different brain imaging techniques to find out which ones are best at locating the exact spot in the brain where seizures start in people with epilepsy who do not respond to medication.
This study looked at how antiseizure medications (ASMs) affect cognitive abilities in children and teenagers who have recently been diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME).
This study looked at how well melatonin works compared to sleep deprivation for helping children with epilepsy fall asleep during EEG tests.
This study focused on finding a way to identify early signs of seizures in children by analyzing their brain activity, specifically through EEG (electroencephalogram) readings.
A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of a ketogenic diet (KD) with traditional antiseizure medications (ASMs) in children who have developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE).
This study focused on how to identify early signs of seizures in children by analyzing their brain activity, specifically through EEG (electroencephalogram) readings.
This study looked at children with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), a common cause of epilepsy, to understand how it affects their executive function, which includes skills like planning and organizing.
In this study, researchers looked at how sevoflurane anesthesia affects brain activity in children with drug-resistant focal epilepsy.
Researchers studied a 9-year-old girl with a rare movement disorder linked to a mutation in the GNAO1 gene.
