Abstract:
The recent Q-PULSE Survey compiled by Chad Carlson asked members to place the Wada test (bilateral intracarotid amobarbital test) in the context of the current practice of epilepsy surgery. Historically, the Wada test has three purposes: to lateralize language, to assess the risk of memory loss after epilepsy surgery, and to help provide predictive data in localization of the epileptic focus.

01:24Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
1.7K
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

01:13Seizures: Classification
2.2K
Epilepsy is primarily characterized by unpredictable seizures, either provoked by an identifiable factor, such as injury or illness, or unprovoked, occurring spontaneously without apparent cause.
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
