After an accident as a teenager, he developed the disorder. He then studied the brain to better understand his own seizures, and now plans to sail around the world to show others with the condition how to push their limits.

A small study finds that patients who had half their brains removed to treat epilepsy have stronger neural networks than controls, perhaps explaining how they can retain language and cognition skills.

Experimental surgeries to prevent seizures may help scientists understand the link between autism and epilepsy.

The proof-of-concept study could be a step toward better assisted communication devices for paralyzed people.

The result of a study among patients with epilepsy strengthens the case for the importance of this brain region in determining mood.

A longitudinal study tracking the progress of an epilepsy patient after surgery shows the brain’s ability to reorganize itself to function nearly normally.

Epidiolex, a cannabis-derived medicine for epilepsy, will prompt federal regulatory changes that could crack open access to study the plant.

Patients will be able to access the drug with a prescription, and there are no plans to allow for recreational use.

Scientists are finding patterns in symptoms among a handful of people with mutations in HNRNPU.

As the CBD-based medication enters the market, the agency promises a crackdown on producers of cannabidiol products that make unproven claims.

In the largest-ever study of its kind, researchers combined genomic data from nearly 900,000 patients and healthy individuals to identify commonalities among 10 mental illnesses.

Researchers develop a new technique to selectively activate neurons deep in the rodent brain, taking a step toward noninvasive brain stimulation for neurological disorders.

Researchers identify patterns of neural activity ranging from a few days to four weeks in individuals with epilepsy.

A decades-old neurological procedure developed under unique and difficult conditions in postwar Japan remains critical to the treatment of epilepsy.

Loss of the CLOCK protein, which researchers find is decreased in pediatric epilepsy patients, makes mice more prone to seizures during sleep.

Recording from single neurons of epilepsy patients, neuroscientists show that both the strength and timing of neuronal firing are important to consciously perceive a visual object. 

Using diffusion-weighted tractography, scientists can produce a detailed image of the minute neural fibers within a mouse brain.  

Around 40 percent of children with an uncommon disorder had 50 percent fewer seizures while taking the marijuana derivative.

Activity in the anterior cingulate cortex corresponds with observing the behavior of others when their actions, or the subsequent outcomes, don’t match one’s expectation.
