Healthcare utilization in drug‐resistant epilepsy: A retrospective cohort study into factors predictive of success during short pediatric EMU admissions

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) plays a crucial role in a patient's diagnosis and management of seizures and epilepsy. This is a resource‐intensive test; therefore, it is beneficial to be able to predict which patients may need a short admission and which patients may require repeated admissions.

Creativity and its link to epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Creative thinking represents one of our highest‐order cognitive processes, involving multiple cortical structures and an intricate interplay between several cortical and subcortical networks. It results in novel ideas that translate to useful products or concepts. The evolutionary purpose of creativity is therefore apparent, as it advances our

The landscape of epilepsy surgery in older adults: Challenges and opportunities

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The prevalence of epilepsy increases with age, and with the aging population, the number of drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) cases is expected to rise. However, epilepsy surgery remains underutilized and is typically offered to younger adults. Despite historical hesitancy due to concerns over risks and outcomes, evidence over the last two decades

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

The upside of epilepsy: Theories of an evolutionary paradox

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The persistence of common, heritable conditions, like epilepsy, that are associated with reduced reproductive fitness is an evolutionary paradox. Endogenous analgesic, anti‐depressant, and inflammatory mechanisms able to repair compromised functions can offer advantages in unexpected crises.

Effect of levetiracetam on cognition in patients with cognitive decline: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of levetiracetam (LEV) compared to placebo in improving cognitive performance in people with cognitive decline. The protocol was pre‐registered with PROSPERO (CRD420250656389) and reporting followed PRISMA guidelines.
