Using an innovative technique combining genetic analysis and mathematical modeling, researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, Wayne State University and Montana State University have identified previously undescribed microlesions in brain tissue from epileptic patients. The millimeter-sized abnormalities may explain why areas of the brain that appear normal can produce severe seizures in many children and adults with epilepsy.  The findings are … Continue reading ‘Microlesions’ in epilepsy discovered by novel neurogenetic technique.
