Insulin resistance in the brain may link Alzheimer’s and epilepsy

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have succeeded in showing, in an animal model, that the process of insulin resistance in the brain affects both Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy and may be a linking factor between the two diseases. The work, supported by FAPESP, confirms clinical evidence that people with epilepsy … Read more

New genetic clues uncovered in epilepsy drug resistance

Certain common genetic changes might make some people with focal epilepsy less responsive to seizure medications, finds a new global study led by researchers at UCL and UTHealth Houston. Focal epilepsy is a condition where seizures start in one part of the brain. It is the most common type of epilepsy. Antiseizure medication is usually … Read more

Mayo Clinic study highlights a new approach to treating drug-resistant epilepsy

A study published in Brain Communications highlights a new approach to treating drug-resistant epilepsy. Researchers at Mayo Clinic have developed an innovative deep brain stimulation (DBS) platform that was used to not only reduce seizures, but also improve memory and sleep – two common challenges for patients with epilepsy. Epilepsy, a seizure disorder that affects about 50 million people … Read more

New Guidance on Seizures, Driving, and Medical Reporting

The first updated guidelines for seizures, driving licensure, and medical reporting in nearly two decades reflect a shift toward medical advisory boards to determine driver licensing for individuals with epilepsy and greater physician flexibility and immunity in reporting unsafe drivers. The consensus position statement was developed by experts from the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), … Read more
