A trial involving comatose survivors of cardiac arrest tested whether aggressively treating rhythmic and periodic EEG activity would improve neurologic outcomes. Despite suppression of abnormal EEG ...

Scientists have discovered how damage to the myelin sheath—the insulating layer around nerve fibers—affects brain activity ...

Clinicians use electroencephalography (EEG) to assess brain activity in epilepsy and sleep pathologies, and this powerful tool has shown promise for other conditions. Emerging evidence suggests that ...

In a recent Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience study, researchers describe their observations from continuous electroencephalography (EEG) recordings obtained from the brain of a dying 87-year-old man ...

While nitrous oxide gas has been used recreationally and medically for more than 200 years - originally for its euphoric and then for its pain relieving and anesthetic properties - the mechanism ...

A new study reveals that myelin sheath damage triggers epileptiform spikes and slows REM oscillations during sleep.

An automated artificial intelligence (AI) model trained to read electroencephalograms (EEGs) in patients with suspected epilepsy is just as accurate as trained neurologists, new data suggests. Known ...

Two abstracts presented at the 2023 International Epilepsy Congress evaluated early electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring in children with seizures and encephalopathy. At the 35th International ...

Brain waves emblematic of generalized epilepsy. Kateryna Kon/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Jena, Germany, 1924: Working in near-isolation and with painstaking tediousness, the psychiatrist ...
