    Virtual Brain Models May Help Predict VNS Response

    April 25, 2026April 25, 2026

    This study looked at whether personalized computer models of the brain could help explain why some children with drug-resistant epilepsy improve with vagus nerve stimulation, while others do not.

    How Brain Support Cells Help Shape Health And Disease

    April 25, 2026April 25, 2026

    This paper is a review, which means it pulls together findings from many earlier studies rather than testing one new group of patients or animals.

    Blocking MiR-30a-5p May Help Slow Epilepsy Progression

    April 25, 2026April 25, 2026

    This study looked at how a small genetic regulator called miR-30a-5p may be involved in epilepsy.

    Blood Marker May Help Spot Depression In Epilepsy

    April 25, 2026April 25, 2026

    This study looked at whether a blood marker called neurofilament light chain, or NfL, was linked to depressive symptoms in adults with epilepsy.

    Epilepsy Linked To Higher Tau And Faster Aging

    April 25, 2026April 25, 2026

    This study looked at whether people with epilepsy have higher levels of tau, a protein linked to brain disease, even when they do not have dementia.

    Earlier Epilepsy Surgery May Improve Seizure Control In Children

    April 25, 2026April 25, 2026

    This study looked at children with epilepsy who had brain surgery to try to stop their seizures.

    Brain-Responsive Device Cuts Seizures Over Three Years

    April 25, 2026April 25, 2026

    This study looked at a brain device called the RNS System in adults with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, meaning seizures kept happening despite medicine.
