Patients with epilepsy worry more than their physicians do about the patients' potential memory loss accompanying their seizure disorder, according to a recent study. In a survey, patients with ...

Clearing out “aged” brain cells dramatically reduced seizures and restored memory in a new epilepsy study.

Eliminating senescent brain cells in animal models showed seizure reduction and cognitive improvement potential.

Scientists from Georgetown University Medical Center have warned that exposure to air pollution can have serious consequences for children's developing brains. However, a new study has shown that ...

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals ...

MADISON, Wis. — Damage to a part of the brain that regulates hyperactivity can contribute to both memory problems and seizures in the most common form of epilepsy, according to research at the ...

Researchers developed a novel “closed-loop” system that delivered electrical pulses in a brain region to synchronize brain activity recorded from another region in the brain to improve memory. Among ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy, which results in recurring seizures and cognitive dysfunction, is associated with premature aging of ...

A common epilepsy drug may reverse a condition that impairs memory in elderly patients and increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, suggests a study published this week in the journal ...

Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have discovered that an FDA-approved anti-epileptic drug reverses memory loss and alleviates other Alzheimer's-related impairments in an animal model of the ...

Research has found that cell density in certain parts of the brain may be linked to short and long-term memory in patients with epilepsy. Reduced cell density in certain parts of the hippocampus - a ...
