Epilepsy is best known for seizures, but many people with the condition also experience much more frequent and subtler ...

Using Neuropixels probes, the scientists mapped the sequential approach by which interictal epileptiform discharges occur in ...

Why do adults make new brain cells? A study published in Cell Stem Cell provides the first cellular evidence that making new brain cells in adults supports verbal learning and memory, which enables ...

Epilepsy was viewed for a long time as a disorder of sudden electrical disruption, but we now know the story is more complex ...

Patients with epilepsy, a brain disorder characterized by symptoms like seizures and convulsions, experience 'abnormal ...

UC San Francisco researchers have shown that subtle epileptic brain disruptions, known as interictal epileptiform discharges, can be predicted a full second before they occur using neuron-level ...

Optogenetics employs a harmless virus to deliver light-sensitive genes to a particular set of neurons in the brain that can then be switched on and off with pulses of light. In a first, UC researchers ...

The new neurons generated as a result of neural damage due to epilepsy show a reduced excitability that could alleviate the disorder, researchers have found. The researchers said their results suggest ...

In what could one day become a new treatment for epilepsy, researchers at UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley have used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. The ...

Research has shown early diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy disorders can improve outcomes. The question of when to ...

We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline—particularly in verbal learning, or learning by listening to others. Researchers know that new neurons contribute ...
