Epilepsy affects more than 300,000 children under the age of 15 — and more than 90,000 young people in this group have seizures that cannot be adequately treated. The onset rate starts to increase when individuals age, particularly as they develop strokes, brain tumors or Alzheimer's disease, all of which may cause epilepsy. Reports indicate that more than 570,000 adults over the age of 65 suffer from the disorder. #epilepsy #medicalresearch #missionbrain #missionbrainpakistan #neuroscience #USMLE #PLAB #youngdoctors #AMC #medschool #healthcare #med #surgeon #medical #mayoclinic

First Post-Mortem Insights on ECT's Impact on the Human Brain 🧠🔬 "The first post-mortem observations suggest that ECT has no damaging effects but may rather have induced neuroplasticity in the DG (dentate gyrus) of depressed patients." Examination of the post-mortem hippocampus of bipolar or unipolar depressed patients who underwent ECT in the 5 years preceding their death 👇 📊🧪 No major cell loss, cytoarchitectural changes, or classic neuropathology were observed Specific Histopathological findings revealed: 1️⃣ No indications of hippocampal cell loss or overt changes. 2️⃣ Inflammatory markers for astrocytes and microglia showed no differences. 3️⃣ A higher percentage of Doublecortin-positive cells, indicating enhanced cellular plasticity. 4️⃣ Increased Stathmin 1 positivity in the subgranular zone, signaling heightened neuroplasticity. 🚨Limitations 1. Differences between groups in medications used. 2. Severity of depression 3. Others outlined in paper Paper 👉 https://lnkd.in/g8CSZCJV #ECT #Depression #neuroscience #psychscene #hippocampus

Speech Language Pathologist * Fortifying resilience in human beings of all ages to sustain life with Language as Medicine. * Rehab for the whole human * Trauma-Informed
Have you ever heard of the homunculus? 🤩 The homunculus is an extraordinary part of the brain that maps the entire body of motor and somatosensory function within two cortical strips found in the frontal and parietal lobes. 💎 When we see deficits in motor and sensory function, we can determine where lesions are in the homunculus and provide a focused beginning point for our rehab techniques. 🧠 Lesions can come from strokes, brain damage through toxicology, traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases. The right rehab is so critical because we want to target neurogenesis and promote neuroplasticity with the most accurate stimulus in order to regain function.😲 Anyone else a neuro-nerd like me? 🤓🧠😍 . . . #brainhealth #neuroscience #speechpathology #neuroplasticity #cognitivehealth #braintraining #neurological #languagetherapy #brainscience #neurogenesis #mindhealth #aphasia #aphasiaawareness #neurorehab #neurorehabilitation #memoryboost #brainfitness #voicetherapy #neurologicaldisorder #healthymind #fluencybreakthrough #neuralplasticity #communicationdisorders #brainawareness #brainpower #growyourbrain
