Introduction: the plant Mucuna pruriens is traditionally used in Indian system ofmedicine for therapy of several neurological disorders. Chemical investigationson have established presence levodopa and tryptamine which areresponsible treating disorders like Parkinsonism. Objective:the objective this research was to scientifically explore ascertain its antiepilepticand anxiolytic activity precli...

A case is reported of a patient with periodic persistent hiccups and secondary generalised epilepsy lasting for a period of five years following a right temporal brain abscess. The recurring episodes of hiccups had a ten day rhythmicity and unlike epileptic convulsions were unresponsive to treatment.

Cortical malformations are a collection of disorders affecting brain development. Mutations in the LIS1 gene lead to a disorganized and smooth cerebral cortex caused by failure in neuronal migration. Among the clinical consequences of lissencephaly are mental retardation and intractable epilepsy. It remains unclear whether the seizures result from aberrant neuronal placement, disruption of intr...

OBJECTIVES Epilepsy establishment gives rise to biochemical and morphological changes in the hippocampus. Oxidative stress, morphological changes, and mossy fiber sprouting (MFS) in the hippocampus underpin the epilepsy establishment. Eugenol is the main component of the essential oil extracted from cloves with the potential to modulate neuronal excitability. Therefore, we investigated the effe...

Editor’s Note: Epilepsy and seizures affect nearly 3 million Americans of all ages. The incidence is greater in African-Americans and in socially disadvantaged populations, and about 200,000 new cases of epilepsy are diagnosed each year. Despite these alarming figures, no magic pill exists to eliminate convulsions. While drugs work for some, others find them ineffective. What seems to work just...

\ Abstract: EEG (Electroencephalograph) is a technique for identifying neurological disorders. Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system characterized by loss of consciousness and convulsions. EEG is the recording of electrical activity of the brain signals that can be used to diagnose the epilepsy condition. In this paper, we propose a novel method using best statistical features th...
