Epilepsy is now considered a network disease that affects the brain across multiple levels of spatial and temporal scales. The paradigm shift from an epileptic focus—a discrete cortical area from ...

Computational models of epilepsy have advanced rapidly ... It is not sufficient for a theoretical model simply to reproduce observed physiology—it must be able to inspire novel predictions and ...

Jackson Labs’ continuous video-based monitoring of mice with AI-enabled analysis reveals fresh insights weeks earlier than ...

Traditionally, treatments focus on ion channels and receptors in neurons; however, recent research highlights the role of astrocytes and microglia in epilepsy's pathophysiology. Non-selective macro ...
