Researchers at Vanderbilt University for the first time have demonstrated in a mouse model that aggregation, the “clumping together” of abnormal proteins, can contribute to a severe form of genetic epilepsy.

A novel mechanism could point to new therapies for a group of inherited diseases that share pathological features.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center recently debuted a new minimally invasive surgical treatment for epilepsy.

Vanderbilt engineers have developed a surgical robot designed to perform brain surgery by entering through the cheek instead of the skull.

Defects in the production of certain receptors are linked to the pathogenesis of genetic epilepsies and fever-induced seizures.

The Vanderbilt University Medical Center epilepsy team has implanted four patients with a device that heralds a new frontier for controlling epileptic seizures.
