5. Epstein-Barr Virus and Multiple Sclerosis: New Light on an Old Idea.

Subjects
*MULTIPLE sclerosis, *EPSTEIN-Barr virus, *CENTRAL nervous system diseases, *AUTOIMMUNE diseases
Abstract

Strikingly, 800 MS cases occurred in individuals who were EBV positive in the last sample, and of 35 individuals who developed MS from an EBV-negative baseline, 97% were seropositive before disease onset. Importantly, B cell-encoded antibodies recognized viral proteins and peptides, in particular the EBV transcription factor EBNA1, which has previously been linked to MS on an epidemiological basis. Despite this evidence, whether EBV directly causes MS has remained unclear, as EBV infections are very common, while MS is rare in comparison. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Benign mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (bMTLE), which is defined as at least 24 months of seizure freedom with or without antiepileptic medication, has probably been under-recognized because of a literature bias toward refractory epilepsy cases. Seizure onset in bMTLE tends to be in adolescence or adulthood, and patients frequently have a family history of febrile seizures and epilepsy. Long-term seizure freedom is observed with or without antiepileptic medication. On brain MRI, nearly 40% of patients with long-standing bMTLE show evidence of hippocampal sclerosis, a feature usually associated with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. Prospective studies are needed to determine the features that allow prediction of a benign course, and to clarify the significance of hippocampal MRI changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The headset's sensors read the signals that formulation sends from your brain to areas you'd trigger if you had said the query aloud, like the back of your tongue and palate.
