A new study published in Brain Communications has uncovered abnormal brain wave activity in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting a potential new biomarker for tracking the condition and ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales Sydney are testing a new way to treat chronic nerve pain by training the brain itself. The approach relies on an interactive game that teaches people ...

Scientists have discovered how a gene strongly linked to Alzheimer’s disease may also trigger seizures by disrupting the brain’s energy supply. The findings, from researchers at the University of ...

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting 3.4 million Americans or 1 in 26 over a lifetime. The hallmark of epilepsy is seizures caused by abnormal bursts of electrical ...

The unpredictable, debilitating nature of a seizure can be frightening, for both the person experiencing it and anyone watching nearby. In that moment, control often slips away as muscles stiffen, ...
