🩺#Startle_epilepsy 🌟 #Startle_epilepsy is a rare form of epilepsy comprising of seizures that occur both spontaneously and induced by unexpected, sudden, multimodal simulations ( mainly auditory, but also sensory, visual). 🌟 #Startle_seizure are brief, symmetrical, and include axial tonic posturing (frequently resulting into traumatic falls). Additional features include autonomic signs, automatism, laughter, and jerks. 🌟 Most patients with #startle_epilepsy are young and have preexisting brain disease such as infantile cerebral hemiplegia, diffuse or localized static brain encephalopathy from different causes. 🌟 Few studies have shown that #startle_seizures arise from the medial pre-motor pre-frontal structures such as the supplementary motor area (#SMA), pre-SMA, and anterior cingulate cortex. #synapse #ILAE_Academy #Epilespy

World Brain Tumor Day serves as a reminder of the importance of early detection and proactive management when it comes to brain health. It’s vital to prioritize brain health and support initiatives that advance our understanding and treatment of disorders related with brain. #PMBJP #WorldBrainTumorDay #BrainTumor #BrainCancer #Healthcare #JanAushadhi

Have you heard about the benefits of Oleuropein for brain health? Recent research indicates that this compound can lower inflammation and cell death in traumatic brain injury models. This discovery could pave the way for new therapeutic strategies for brain injury recovery. Let's stay informed and explore potential breakthroughs in neuroprotection! #FRI #DrKohen #NeuroProtection #BrainHealth #TraumaticBrainInjury

May 30th is the international #Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Day. #MS is characterized by a damage to the insulating covers (#Myelin) of nerve cells in the #brain and spinal cord, with a loss of control of #motor and #cognitive function, as well as abnormal #eye movements. This review in Frontiers provides insights on the patterns of eye movement abnormalities throughout the stages of #MS. https://t.ly/30HIs

April is recognized as Parkinson's Awareness Month 🧠 Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that challenges movement, manifesting in tremors, stiffness, and balance problems. It stems from the degeneration of brain neurons, leading to lower dopamine levels, which are vital for movement regulation. The cause? A mix of genetic and environmental factors, though uncertain. While there's no cure yet, treatments like medication and surgery provide relief. 🔬 Research is relentless, aiming for better treatments and, hopefully, a cure. By fostering a deeper understanding and generating widespread support, Parkinson's Awareness Month seeks to pave the way for a future where PD can be effectively managed or, even better, cured. #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth #ParkinsonsDisease

A new pilot study found that high-intensity exercise induces brain-protective effects that have the potential to not just slow down, but possibly reverse, the neurodegeneration associated with Parkinson’s disease. “The medications we have available are only for symptomatic treatment. They do not change the disease course. But exercise seems to go one step beyond and protect the brain at the neuronal level,” says Sule Tinaz, MD, PhD, associate professor of neurology at Yale School of Medicine and co-principal investigator.
