Porciatti and colleagues now report that patients with photosensitive epilepsy showed abnormal cortical activity in such tests.

Such effects could be harmful, neutral, or beneficial and might be particularly important for individuals with conditions involving cortical excitability, such as epilepsy.

For example, epilepsy is a common sequela of cortical stroke, but the mechanisms responsible for seizures following cortical injuries remain unknown.
From the nature.com
This approach is of therapeutic interest for intractable epilepsy, as it spares cortical function between seizures, in contrast with existing treatments, such as surgical lesioning or drugs.
From the nature.com
Like Sarah, 80 per cent of people with the condition have epilepsy which is probably caused by brain growths called cortical tubers.
From the express.co.uk
Epidural cortical stimulation is being investigated as a treatment for several conditions, including intractable pain and epilepsy.
From the newscientist.com
The article describes the first use of a mouse model of cortical dysplasia, a malformation of the brain that is most often the cause of childhood epilepsy.
From the sciencedaily.com
Cortical dysplasia, meaning disordered development of the cerebral cortex, is identified in 25 to 40 percent of children with the most severe and difficult-to-treat forms of epilepsy.
