Exposure to Antiepileptic Drug in Womb Linked to Autism Risk
January 31, 2013 — Children whose mothers take the antiepileptic drug sodium valproate while pregnant are at significantly increased risk of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, suggests a small ... > full story -
Neuroscientists Create Fiber-Optic Method of Arresting Epileptic Seizures
January 24, 2013 — Neuroscientists have developed a way to stop epileptic seizures with fiber-optic light signals, heralding a novel opportunity to treat the most severe manifestations of the brain ... > full story -
Cancer-Causing Virus Found in Brain Shows Potential Connection to Epilepsy
January 24, 2013 — Researchers have evidence linking HPV16, the most common cause of cervical cancer, to a form of epilepsy. They've shown that HPV16 may be present in the human brain, and when they added a viral ... > full story -
Less Tau Reduces Seizures and Sudden Death in Severe Epilepsy
January 22, 2013 — Deleting or reducing expression of a gene that carries the code for tau, a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease, can prevent seizures in a severe type of epilepsy linked to sudden death, said ... > full story -
