New research from @uiowa points to extended apnea that continues following a seizure as a major factor contributing to Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).

A @UIowaNeuro research team identified a specific area of the brain linked to prolonged loss of breathing after a seizure, shedding light on a rare complication of #Epilepsy that causes approximately 3,000 deaths per year.

In what’s called the best tradition in college sports, @HarrySmith shares the history of people in the Kinnick Stadium waving to patients at Stead Family Children's Hospital overlooking the field — and meets a player in a full-circle moment.

A new study underscores the amygdala's critical role in post-seizure breathing suppression, offering a vital clue in understanding SUDEP—a leading death cause among severe epilepsy patients.

@JoelIBerger @aers16 Thanks Joel! We have an amazing team!

[Brian Dlouhy MD @thebraindocMD]

We found that in #epilepsy patients, when seizures spread to a focal subregion of the human #amygdala, apnea is evoked & can persist for minutes after the seizures ends! Patients are unaware! This may lead to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (#SUDEP). https://t.co/ijSzhXJH7I

Today's Nobel is a reminder to focus on the work and not the journal. The key publications cited by the committee were published in Immunity, Molecular Therapy, and Nucleic Acids Research. Respectable journals, but not the Big 3. The discoveries are what's important, not a name.
