Epilepsy Surgery Could Help Many More Patients Who Struggle with Seizures
From: Medical News Today
"John Ligerakis was told he had to learn to live with seizures that had made it challenging for him to work or drive a car. A young professional just starting his career, Ligerakis was devastated about what his future might bring.
"As time went on, I could count on having a seizure every day," says Ligerakis, who is now 35 and lives in West Bloomfield, Mich. "We tried medication after medication, but none of them worked and each of them had different side effects."

Fast Ripples Confirmed To Be Valuable Biomarker Of Area Responsible For Seizure Activity In Children
"New research focusing on high-frequency oscillations, termed ripples and fast ripples, recorded by intracranial electroencephalography (EEG), may provide an important marker for the localization of the brain region responsible for seizure activity. According to the study now available in Epilepsia, a journal of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), the resection of brain regions containing fast ripples, along with the visually-identified seizure-onset zone, may achieve a good seizure outcome in pediatric epilepsy.
