seizures

A University of Texas at Arlington bioengineer and his doctoral student have discovered how to identify which brain cells lead to epileptic episodes in children.

Scientists at Aston University have started work on a project that will look for new drug treatments to prevent the onset of childhood epilepsy.

Researchers have determined the prevalence of functional seizures and characterised comorbidities associated with them.

The researchers focused on the area of the brain called hippocampus, which plays an important role in learning and social interactions; and synapses.
