Study Supports Widespread Use of Brain Research Probes in Epilepsy Patients
Electrodes that collect research data while locating seizure origins may spur better treatment for many brain conditions.
UTSW scientists identify brain circuit that triggers rare, blood sugar-dependent epilepsy
A small group of brain cells linked in a circuit is responsible for setting off whole-brain seizures in a rare form of epilepsy affected by blood sugar levels, a study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The finding, published in Science Translational Medicine, could lead to new treatments for other metabolic disorders in the brain, the authors said.
