Existence of Dynamic Functional Connectivity Variations of Brain Networks in Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures Through Resting-state Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering
Background: Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES), is a type of seizure that is caused by emotional factors. Symptoms of PNES are similar to epileptic seizures including disturbance in involuntary movement.

Different dissociation and alexithymia domains specifically relate to patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) and with PNES and comorbid epilepsy (PNES+EP)

Journal of Affective Disorders Reports, 2022
Background: Several studies previously examined the role of dissociation and alexithymia in patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). However, their relationship remains unclear.

Myths and truths about pediatric psychogenic nonepileptic seizures [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics, 2021
Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) is a neuropsychiatric condition that causes a transient alteration of consciousness and loss of self-control. PNES, which occur in vulnerable individuals who often have experienced trauma and are precipitated by ...

A systems biology approach for discovering the cellular and molecular aspects of psychogenic non-epileptic seizure

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
ObjectivesPsychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES) is the most common non-epileptic disorder in patients referring to epilepsy centers. Contrary to common beliefs about the disease’s harmlessness, the death rate of PNES patients is similar to drug ...

Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) in the context of concurrent epilepsy – making the right diagnosis

Acta Epileptologica, 2021
Epilepsy is a risk factor for the development of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) and comorbid epilepsy is recognized as a comorbidity in about 10–30% of patients with PNES.

Neuropsychiatric profile in average intelligent individuals with coexisting epilepsy and psychogenic non‐epileptic seizures

Epilepsia Open, 2023
Global neuropsychological impairments with intellectual disability (ID) seem to play a major role in the occurrence of psychogenic non‐epileptic seizures (PNES) in epilepsy.

Altered functional and structural connectivity networks in psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are paroxysmal behaviors that resemble epileptic seizures but lack abnormal electrical activity. Recent studies suggest aberrant functional connectivity involving specific brain regions in PNES.

Family functioning in psychogenic nonepileptic seizures: Qualitative study

Annals of Indian Psychiatry, 2023
Background: Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are understood as epileptic presentations without a neurological basis. PNES has underlying psychological stressors that manifest physiologically.

Heart Rate Variability Parameters During Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures: Comparison Between Patients With Pure PNES and Comorbid Epilepsy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Introduction: Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) may resemble epileptic seizures. There are few data about ictal ANS activity alterations induced by PNES in patients with pure PNES (pPNES) compared to PNES with comorbid epilepsy (PNES/ES).
