Neural Modeling Helps Expose Epilepsy's Triggers
A brain scan of an epileptic seizure reveals fierce electrical storms that pop up seemingly at random, proliferate over large areas of the brain and subside almost as quickly as they arose. Argonne researchers are using high-performance computers to create life-like models of small areas in the brain that cast new light on why seizures occur and propagate. |read >
