Lesion mapping led researchers to identify a common brain circuit related to epilepsy. A new brain circuit found by mapping lesions related to epilepsy could have clinical implications for predicting ...

Focal epilepsy affects over 30 million patients worldwide and is commonly caused by brain lesions, such as stroke. However, it is unclear why some lesion locations cause epilepsy while others do not.

Military veterans who develop epilepsy following a traumatic brain injury might be more likely to die earlier than others with epilepsy. However, their risk could depend on the cause of their brain ...

Epilepsy surgery is something that many people undergo after trying medication and other therapies that do not work. Since it is a neurosurgery (brain surgery), there is a lot of uncertainty and ...
