In a study of epilepsy patients, researchers monitored the electrical activity of thousands of individual brain cells, called neurons, as patients took memory tests. They found that the firing patterns of the cells that…
The left and right side of our brain are specialized for some cognitive abilities. For example, in humans, language is processed ...
An advanced imaging technology is allowing scientists unprecedented access into brain activities during intricate behaviors. The 'Flyception2' system has produced the first-ever picture of what happens in the brain…
Neuropsychology studies how the brain drives behavior, linking neurology and psychology. From ancient Egyptian head injury ...
A drug that once helped obese adults lose weight, withdrawn from the market due to heart risks, may be safe and effective for children with a seizure disorder called Dravet syndrome, say researchers. The drug…
A team of neuroscientists have found, in animal models, that they can 'switch off' epileptic seizures. The findings provide the first evidence that while different types of seizures start in varied areas of the brain…
Imagine not being able to drive, shower alone or even work because you are never quite sure when the next seizure will leave you incapacitated. Hope may be on the horizon for epilepsy patients who have had limited…
Scientists have developed a new therapeutic concept for the treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy. It represents a gene therapy capable of suppressing seizures at their site of origin on demand. Having been shown to be…
In some forms of epilepsy, the function of certain ''brake cells'' in the brain is presumed to be disrupted. This may be one of the reasons why the electrical malfunction is able to spread from the point of origin across…
In response to seizures, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a network of flattened tubes in the cell that packages and transports proteins, triggers a stress response that reduces brain activity and seizure severity. The…
Epileptic seizures can probably not be predicted by changes in brain wave patterns that were previously assumed to be characteristic precursors.
Neuropsychological tests are important instruments to determine a cognitive profile, giving insight into the etiology of dementia ...
Neuropsychology is the science linking the functioning of the brain with cognitive and emotional experience and behaviour.
Neuropsychological assessment (NPA) addresses important aspects of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and rehabilitation planning.
Paediatric neuropsychological assessment includes administration of age-standardised tests evaluating cognitive, behavioural and ...
