3-D Heat Map Animation Shows How Seizures Spread in Brains of Patients with Epilepsy

Date Time 3-D ‘Heat Map’ Animation Shows How Seizures Spread in Brains of Patients with Epilepsy For 29 years, from the time she was 12, Rashetta Higgins had been wracked by epileptic seizures – as many as 10 a week – in her sleep, at school and at work. She lost four jobs over 10 years. One seizure brought her down as she was climbing concrete stairs, leaving a bloody scene and a bad gash near her eye. A seizure struck in 2005 while she was waiting at the curb for a bus. “I fell down right when the bus was pulling up,” she says. “My friend grabbed me just in time. I fell a lot. I’ve had concussions. I’ve gone unconscious. It has put a lot of wear and tear on my body.”

Personalized neuromodulation approach provides relief from severe depression symptoms

Personalized brain stimulation alleviates severe depression symptoms

 E-Mail Targeted neuromodulation tailored to individual patients distinctive symptoms is an increasingly common way of correcting misfiring brain circuits in people with epilepsy or Parkinson s disease. Now, scientists at UC San Francisco s Dolby Family Center for Mood Disorders have demonstrated a novel personalized neuromodulation approach that at least in one patient was able to provide relief from symptoms of severe treatment-resistant depression within minutes. The approach is being developed specifically as a potential treatment for the significant fraction of people with debilitating depression who do not respond to existing therapies and are at high risk of suicide. The brain, like the heart, is an electrical organ, and there is a growing acceptance in the field that the faulty brain networks that cause depression just like epilepsy or Parkinson s disease could be shifted into a healthier state by targeted stimulation, said Katherine Scangos, MD, PhD, an assist
