Serial plasma samples and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 levels were available in a subgroup of patients. Neurophysiologic changes were categorized into new or worsening epileptiform abnormalities (EAs) or ...

Abstract: In this paper we utilize a signal processing tool, which can help physicians and clinical researchers to automate the process of EEG epileptiform spike detection. The semi-classical signal ...

We identify seizure source locations from 36 patients in interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) and during seizures. We visually counted foci of activity, and scored whether foci were resected.

A new study published in Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience provides evidence that electrical stimulation of the ...

睡眠与癫痫的关系如同复杂的双面镜，既相互影响又暗藏玄机。长期以来，医学界已知非快速眼动（NREM）睡眠会促使发作间期癫痫样放电（interictal epileptiform discharges, IEDs）增多，而快速眼动（REM）睡眠尤其是相位 REM 期对 IEDs 有抑制作用。然而，REM 睡眠中一种 ...

Males and females show no clinical differences in autistic traits at the time of diagnosis in toddlerhood, despite males being diagnosed with autism over four times more frequently. The work, led ...
