High frequency activity preceding epileptic seizures
… and epileptic features including electrographic seizures (trains of hypersynchronous population spikes lasting ~46 sec) and interictal discharges (abrupt potential deflections, ~40 ms) were induced in rat hippocampal slices by increasing potassium concentration in artificial cerebrospinal fluid …

Analyzing autonomic activity in neonatal seizures
Recent studies suggest that seizures in the newborn occur more often than previously appreciated. The effect of neonatal seizures remain unclear, however. Do seizures in the newborn cause brain injury, are they a consequence of brain injury, or are they benign? Seizures in the newborn tend to occur …

Classifying drug-induced epileptic seizures in zebrafish larvae
… to have enormous potential for modelling acute seizures and genetic epilepsies. In this project, a mathematical classification model was created with the aim of correctly classifying zebrafish larvae having an (PTZ induced) epileptic seizure. The model also computes biomedical parameters …

Behavioral Control of Seizures in Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri sciureus)
Problem: to ascertain whether epileptic seizures develop as a result of a laboratory produced lesion of the nodosa ganglia of the vagus nerve, to condition the inhibition of seizures, and to theorize on sudden death. Procedures: eleven Squirrel monkeys were surgically implanted with depth …

Parent-Reported Anxiety in Children with Secondary Generalized Seizures
… of seizure type. Children with partial seizures with secondary generalization had higher levels of anxiety symptoms compared to children with generalized seizures, but similar levels to those with partial seizures. The current study’s findings could have occurred due to the possible …

Identifying novel therapeutic targets for seizures and brain cancers
… conditions characterised by unprovoked recurring seizures that are due to multiple factors including the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. A subgroup of patients with epilepsy may not respond to systemic treatment and therefore would become candidates for surgical therapy. A less invasive …

Psychological characteristics related to epileptic and non-epileptic seizures
… subgroups of people who experience non-epileptic seizures (NES) and contextualised subgroup differences in theories of NES aetiology. Results indicated that trauma experiences, alexithymia, and presence of intellectual disability were characteristics that were important in differentiating …

Seizures Cause Long-Lasting Analgesia and Short-Lasting Hyperoxia
… with epilepsy and non-human animal models of seizures exhibit a decrease in nociceptive perception, hereafter called postictal analgesia. This alteration in nociceptive perception has previously been theorized to contribute to the commonality of injuries, such as burns, following a seizure. …

Exploring molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying seizures in neurocysticercosis
… infect the central nervous system of humans. Seizures are the most common symptom of NCC, occurring in between 70 % and 90 % of all symptomatic NCC cases. Neurocysticercosis impacts heavily on the quality of life of patients, and further presents a significant drain on the economic resources …

Continuous assessment of epileptic seizures with wrist-worn biosensors
… an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures. The apprehension about injury, or even death, resulting from a seizure often overshadows the lives of those unable to achieve complete seizure control. Moreover, the risk of sudden death in people with epilepsy is 24 times higher compared …

The utility of mobile telephone recorded videos as adjuncts to the diagnosis of seizures and paroxysmal events in children with suspected epileptic seizures
… videos in the management and assessment of seizures. Further, the ethical implications of transfer of sensitive recorded material has not been adequately addressed for this group.

The experience of seizures : epilepsy and non-epileptic attack disorder
This thesis comprises of a literature review, a research paper and a critical appraisal of the research process. In the literature review, a meta-synthesis methodology was used to identify and synthesise 15 studies that explored the experiences of living with epilepsy. Three themes emerged; ‘making …

Role of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Adult Neurogenesis and Cholinergic Seizures
… the regulation of muscarinic agonist-induced seizures. We first investigated the role of mAChRs in adult neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the subgranular zone (SGZ). We were unable to detect any modulation of adult neurogenesis by mAChRs. Administration of muscarinic agonists …

The innate ability of pet dogs to spontaneously anticipate epileptic seizures
… (20 million), are unable to control their seizures by medication. For them, the only intervention available is targeted brain surgery to excise the seizure source, but waiting lists are long and the procedure expensive. Anecdotally, dogs appear to be capable of anticipating seizures …

A study of synchronization of nonlinear oscillators: Application to epileptic seizures
… and computational work on drug-induced epileptic seizures in the rat neocortex. In the experimental part, spatiotemporal patterns of electrical activities in the rat neocortex are measured using voltage-sensitive dye imaging. Epileptic regions show well-synchronized, in-phase activity during …

Neurocognitive outcomes in children experiencing seizures during treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
… outcomes of children who experience seizures while treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This study examined prevalence of on-protocol seizures, seizure risk factors, and neurocognitive change in children with therapy-related seizures in comparison to the normative sample and a …

An exploration of epileptic and nonepileptic seizures : an interpretative phenomenological analytic study
Background Differentiating epileptic seizures from non epileptic seizures (NES) has always been difficult. Seizures can look very similar, substantial physical injury and incontinence can occur in both conditions and people can have both conditions simultaneously. Treatment for each condition is …

Latent classes of comorbid clinical presentations for patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures
<p>Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are episodes of motor, sensory, and/or cognitive seizures without detectable epileptic activity. The integrative cognitive model conceptualizes PNES as an activation of learned mental representations of a seizure often combined with concurrent …
