Heart-Brain Connection Could Be Predictive Biomarker For Epilepsy

Heart-Brain Connection Could Be Predictive Biomarker For Epilepsy

Heartbeat irregularities connected to brain abnormalities may lead to the ability to predict epileptic seizures in individuals who suffer from physical or infectious brain insults. This was proposed by a team of researchers from Penn State who studied mouse models of cerebral malaria, that often causes epilepsy in those who survive.
