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 examined a case involving a 41-year-old man who had epilepsy and was using a vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) device to help manage his seizures.
Researchers examined how breathing is affected during and after seizures, focusing on specific breathing problems that can occur during these events.
Researchers studied how problems with the glymphatic system, which helps clear waste from the brain, might affect cognitive decline in elderly patients with late-onset epilepsy (LOE) who also have chronic insomnia.
Researchers examined Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), a rare genetic condition that primarily affects vision but can also impact other body systems.
Researchers studied how early brain activity patterns, measured by electroencephalography (EEG), can help predict the development of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) in adults who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Researchers studied the potential risk factors for epilepsy in children who experienced neonatal hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar shortly after birth.
Researchers investigated a new treatment approach for epilepsy that combines two natural compounds, fisetin and carveol, using specially designed lipid nanocapsules to help deliver the medication directly to the brain.
Researchers studied how to better identify the areas of the brain involved in seizures using EEG data from 17 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Researchers studied the role of the PHF21A gene in brain development and epilepsy.
