Patients with dementia and active seizures experience faster cognitive and functional decline, and have a greater risk of dying younger, than those with dementia but without seizures, new research shows.
For the first time, researchers report a process that may explain absence seizure progression that provokes dysregulation of the insulating layer surrounding nerve fibers – and a cycle of nerve damage.
People who survive cardiac arrest may recall experiences of death, including a review of their lives. The reports from some are supported by brain activity consistent with consciousness seen on EEG during CPR.
By targeting the precuneus in patients with Alzheimer s disease, investigators using rTMS are hoping to stimulate or repair neural connections in the default mode network.
