Clockwork timing behind epileptic seizures explored
For many who suffer from epilepsy, seizures come like clockwork. But everyone has a different clock. A new study co-led by Rice and the University of California, San Francisco researchers sought to formalize how those clocks tick to give people with epilepsy a better idea of how and why their seizures happen, and perhaps to better recognize the early warnings. Alumna Sharon Chiang and Marina Vannucci, the Noah Harding Professor of Statistics at Rice’s George R. Brown School of Engineering, are quoted. Alumna Emily Wang is mentioned.
