Cerebral blood flow during psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description We don't understand what happens during a non-epileptic seizure. Patients can't tell us and we can't use normal brain scanning during a seizure as the patient moves too much. Our idea is to take patients with non-epileptic seizures on the epilepsy wards who are being monitored and inject them with a radioactive tracer as soon as the seizure starts, then we can scan them afterwards to see what parts of their brain were active during the seizure, so we will understand what was happening.
