Description
Yao Liu led a 2026 mouse study that used sound based imaging to watch blood flow in the brain during seizures. Temporal lobe epilepsy is common and often resists drugs, yet blood flow shifts during attacks are poorly mapped. The team triggered brief seizures in mice and tracked flow across the whole brain in real time.
Most of 12 key brain areas showed flow that rose first and then fell during attacks. One thalamus area changed earlier than the rest, which hints at an early role. Links between brain areas also shifted in clear ways. Maps like these may help explain how seizures spread and harm tissue.
