Description
Finding the brain spot where seizures start, without opening the skull, is the goal of a 2026 pilot study in epileptic cats by Takayuki Miura, Rikako Asada, and Daisuke Hasegawa. The cats belong to a family line with inherited temporal lobe epilepsy, which makes them a stand in for the human condition.
Each cat had brain wave recordings and combined scans across three sessions. Signals appeared in the suspected deep brain region in just over half the sessions, but nothing survived the strictest statistics. The authors call the method feasible and exploratory, a first step toward a noninvasive option for veterinary patients.
