Van Gogh did not have spontaneous seizures and, therefore, did not have epilepsy. Before he began to drink heavily, when he was near starvation, he had "fainting fits," and after drinking, especially absinthe, a convulsant drug, he continued to have similar attacks.

2022年8月8日 · Over a century after his death, iconic artist Vincent Van Gogh reminds us that epilepsy is often a hidden condition. In July, much of the world was shocked to hear that a previously hidden Van Gogh self-portrait had been found on the reverse of one of his paintings.

2002年4月1日 · The presence of seizures, the intermittent and pleomorphic symptoms of the interictal phase, the prolonged amnestic-confusional psychotic episodes at the height of van Gogh’s illness, and, finally, the profile of his personality traits all suggest a …

Van Gogh himself thought that he might have epilepsy [30] and his doctor Dr. Félix Rey at the Old Hospital in Arles made the same general diagnosis, [31] as did Dr. Peyron at St Rémy. [32] A diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy was originally put forward in 1928 by Leroy and Doiteau [ 33 ] and has received much support. [ 34 ]

Functional brain connectivity from EEG in epilepsy: Seizure prediction and epileptogenic focus localization

2024年3月10日 · The study findings revealed that Van prolonged seizure manifestations and decreased the amplitude, duration, and frequency of epileptiform discharges in EEG recordings after a single dose of PTZ. Moreover, Van amplified the latency to the first seizure and moderated the number of seizures, validating the anticonvulsant properties of Van.

Seizure-related cardiac arrhythmias are frequently reported and have been implicated as potential pathomechanisms of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). We attempted to identify clinical profiles associated with various (post)ictal cardiac arrhythmias.

Here, we analyze a research framework where NVU dysfunction, caused by acute insults or disease progression in the aging brain, represents a converging mechanism underlying late-onset seizures or epilepsy and neurological or neurodegenerative sequelae.

2013年6月1日 · One common difficulty involves distinguishing epileptic seizures from non-epileptic events (e.g. syncope, hypoglycaemic seizures in diabetes, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures or pseudo-seizures), life-threatening events (e.g. suffocation) and sleep-related disorders (e.g. restless-leg syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, somnambulism ...
