Image Press coverage | Feb 11 2020 ABC News Epilepsy treatment side effect: New insights about the brain People with epilepsy are contributing in surprising ways to research into the brain Image Research news | Oct 16 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Study shows why even well-controlled epilepsy can disrupt thinking Transient bursts of high-frequency electrical activity in epileptic brain tissue can impair cognition even when no seizure is occurring, Stanford scientists have found. Image Research news | Feb 15 2018 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Specific set of nerve cells controls seizures’ spread through brain Stanford researchers have found that a small set of nerve cells in the brain regulates the debilitating seizures and cognitive deficits characteristic of the most common form of epilepsy in adults. This discovery could lead to new and better treatments. Image Research news | Dec 15 2016 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Research locates absence epilepsy seizure ‘choke point’ in brain Stanford researchers used a rodent model to discover that shifting the firing pattern of a particular set of brain cells is all it takes to initiate, or to terminate, an absence seizure.
