Reporter Park Jeong-ryeol of Money Today | 2023.03.23 11:24 Lenin, the Russian revolutionary, former US president Roosevelt… A disease that even the most powerful people in the world have not avoided is ‘epilepsy’ (called epilepsy in the past). Symptoms such as seizures, paralysis, and loss of consciousness appear due to abnormal amplification of electrical signals […]
The development of deep brain stimulation tailored to the structure of the brain opens the way to treat intractable epilepsy
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder that causes recurrent seizures, formerly known as ‘epilepsy’. Around 30% of patients with epilepsy do not respond to drug treatment, so it is called ‘refractory epilepsy’. Intractable epilepsy can be expected to relieve symptoms and disappear through brain resection to remove the seizure lesion, but there is also a […]

Pediatric refractory epilepsy, up to 80% genetic diagnosis possible by mutation identification
KAIST Graduate School of Medical Science Professor Jeongho Lee’s research team succeeded in genetically diagnosing up to 80% of intractable epilepsy Overcome the limitations of current diagnostic methods by selecting and collecting only brain neurons with mTOR pathway expression abnormalities Developing essential therapeutics based on understanding the pathology of refractory epilepsy will be a cornerstone […]
80% of pediatric epilepsy can be diagnosed with genes

80% of epilepsy, an incurable brain disease, can be traced to genes. KAIST Graduate School of Medicine Professor Jeongho Lee’s team (first author, Dr. Jahye Kim, Asan Medical Center) announced in the International Journal of Neurology that they have developed a method for diagnosing epilepsy by detecting mutations present in amounts very small number of […]
