Background: Synesthesia is a condition in which the stimulation of one sensory modality triggers unusual experiences in a second sensory modality such as colors or shapes. Synesthesia has been linked to specific conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, although the mechanisms underlying synesthesia remain largely unclear.
Objective: This pilot study aimed to investigate the prevalence of grapheme-color synesthesia (GCS) in patients with epilepsy and to characterize the epilepsy features associated with GCS experiences.
Article Synopsis
- - Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a condition where the heart expands abnormally, often triggered by emotional stress, but it can also be linked to brain issues such as strokes.
- - The exact cause of TCM is unclear, but it might involve a sudden release of stress hormones or spasms in the heart's blood vessels.
- - A case study highlighted a 75-year-old woman who developed TCM after a stroke in a specific brain area, suggesting that TCM can occur shortly after strokes in that region, emphasizing the need for quick diagnosis and treatment in stroke patients.
Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) is an idiopathic generalized epilepsy associated with a characteristic sleep/wake rhythm, with the tendency to go to bed later at night, to get up later in the morning. In the pediatric population, we have previously observed specific circadian and sleep/wake patterns of generalized seizures (6 am-12 pm) and myoclonic seizures (in wakefulness, 6 am to noon). Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (DSWPD) is characterized by sleep initiation insomnia when attempting sleep at conventional times and difficulty waking at the required time.
