We encountered a female patient with late-onset temporal lobe epilepsy who presented with transient amnesia as the sole ictal manifestation, an accelerated rate of forgetting daily life events, and a retrograde memory deficit. We describe the memory function of the patient both before and after the administration of antiseizure medication. After the patient's seizures were controlled with antiseizure drugs, her neuropsychological memory performance scores showed improvement. We presumed that the disappearance of seizures was associated with a decrease in the accelerated rate of forgetting medication. However, her lost memories were not recovered after the seizures were controlled by antiseizure medication.

Objective: Awake craniotomy is commonly used to resect lesions located near the language area during brain surgery. However, it is often difficult to perform language tasks due to several limitations such as difficulty in awakening during surgery and intraoperative seizures. This study investigated the clinical significance of bidirectional corticocortical evoked potential (CCEP) monitoring as a new approach to evaluate intraoperative language function.

Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical syndrome with numerous etiologies, mostly characterized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities in the posterior cerebral white and gray matter and acute neurological symptoms.
Aim: To examine the predisposing factors, clinical results, and radiological features of PRES in children diagnosed with malignancy.
Materials And Methods: The study included 20 patients (7 F/13 M) aged 4-16 years at the time of diagnosis who were diagnosed with malignancy and developed PRES during chemotherapy.
Perturbation therapies for neurodegenerative disorders: How attractors of excitable networks can help.
Phys Rev E
November 2024
School of Science, Constructor University Bremen, Bremen, Germany.
We investigate the influence of the network topology on the asymptotic dynamical patterns, attractors, in a general model of excitable dynamics on signed directed graphs. In this framework, network topology manifests itself as an interplay of positive and negative feedback loops. A small change in a feedback loop, by addition or removal of edges in the graph, can drastically change the dynamical patterns in the network, characterized by the appearance and disappearance of attractors from the attractor space of the network.

Background: Functional syncope, or psychogenic pseudosyncope, is often under-recognized. We aimed to show that functional syncope may be diagnosed in most pediatric patients by the initial neurological consultation.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of patients who were evaluated from 2006 to 2022 in clinic for apparent transient loss of consciousness (a-TLOC) and probable functional syncope.
