A small device implanted in the brain has accurately predicted epilepsy seizures in humans in a world-first study led by Professor Mark Cook, Chair of Medicine at the University of Melbourne.
“Knowing when a seizure might happen could dramatically improve the quality of life and independence of people with epilepsy,” Cook, who is also the Director of Neurology at St Vincent’s Hospital, told the University of Melbourne. His research was published today in the international medical journal, Lancet Neurology.
Cook and his team, with Professors Terry O’Brien and Sam Berkovic, worked with researchers at the Seattle-based company, NeuroVista, who developed a device which could be implanted between the skull and brain surface to monitor long-term electrical signals in the brain (EEG data), Melbourne said.
The University of Melbourne went on to say the researchers worked together to develop a second device implanted under the chest, which transmitted electrodes recorded in the brain to a hand-held device, providing a series of lights warning patients of the high (red), moderate (white), or low (blue), likelihood of having a seizure in the hours ahead.
The two-year study included 15 people with epilepsy aged between 20 and 62 years, who experienced between two and 12 seizures per month and had not had their seizures controlled with existing treatments, the university said. For the first month of the trial the system was set purely to record EEG data, which allowed Cook and his team to construct individual algorithms of seizure prediction for each patient, Melbourne noted.
The system correctly predicted seizures with a high warning, 65 per cent of the time, and worked to a level better than 50 per cent in 11 of the 15 patients. Eight of the 11 patients had their seizures accurately predicted between 56 and 100 per cent of the time, the study led by the University of Melbourne School of Medicine showed.
Epilepsy is the second most common neurological disease after stroke, affecting over 60 million people worldwide. Up to 40 percent of people are unable to control their seizures with existing treatments.
“One to two per cent of the population has chronic epilepsy and up to 10 per cent of people will have a seizure at some point in their lives, so it’s very common. It’s debilitating because it affects young people predominantly and it affects them often across their entire lifespan,” Cook told the university.
“The problem is that people with epilepsy are, for the most part, otherwise extremely well. So their activities are limited entirely by this condition, which might affect only a few minutes of every year of their life, and yet have catastrophic consequences like falls, burns and drowning,” the Chair of Medicine told the University of Melbourne.
Cook hopes to replicate the findings of the study in larger clinical trials, and is optimistic the technology will lead to improved management strategies for epilepsy in the future, Melbourne said.

The University of Queensland is joining the fight against multiple sclerosis (MS) by bathing the Forgan Smith Building in red for the “Kiss Goodbye to MS” campaign in May.
Forgan Smith Building at the University of Queensland
The middle section of the northern side of the building will be floodlit from 6 to 11 p.m. every night for the duration of MS Awareness Month, as part of the effort to raise awareness of the debilitating disease.
Multiple sclerosis attacks the brain and spinal cord, causing irreparable damage and is the most common acquired chronic neurological condition among young Australian adults.
Researchers at the UQ Centre for Clinical Research (UQCCR), the School of Medicine, and the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) are working to find treatments to help the 23,000 Australians living with the disease.
UQ MS expert Dr Judith Greer said the UQCCR was working on five main MS projects. “My current work focuses on the role of molecules called antibodies,” she said. “There is a lot of suggestive evidence that these antibodies might cause a faster progression of disease in people with multiple sclerosis, but this remains to be proven.
“We’re investigating the mechanisms by which antibodies that target the most abundant protein in myelin (called proteolipid protein or PLP) could hasten MS disease progression,” Dr Greer said. “MS Queensland is a great supporter of ours and sponsors many of our projects.”
Other areas under the microscope include the development of antigen-specific therapeutics agents for MS, the role of pregnancy in protecting against MS, the role of mutations in genes that control the pro-inflammatory NF-kB pathway for people with MS, and the role of Epstein Barr virus in MS.
Researchers hope the results of these studies will help improve treatment options for people with MS and allow better understanding of the basic pathogenic mechanisms that can cause MS.
UQ Property and Facilities Division Maintenance Manager Contracts Glenn Vickery said UQ participated in the annual event to raise awareness among staff, visitors and students.
“Other major sites joining us this year are Conrad Treasury Casino, Kurilpa Bridge, QPAC and the Queensland Museum,” he said.
MS Queensland urges the public to get involved with the Kiss Goodbye to MS campaign and support Australian research into treatment, prevention and ultimately finding a cure for MS.

A new collaboration between Monash University and the Inner East Melbourne Medicare Local (IEMML) will provide a unique window into the patterns of general practice in Australia.
Learn more about Monash Medical School
The Melbourne East MonAsh GeNeral PracticE DaTabase (MAGNET) unites the research strengths of the University with extracted health care data of close to one million patients attending general practices in the IEMML region. MAGNET will be officially launched next week in Melbourne following Monash University’s Department of General Practice Research Showcase Day.
The database, which protects the identities of patients, will provide information about patient and GP demographics, risk factors, diagnoses, medications prescribed, pathology results, antenatal care, and practice characteristics.
Scientific director of MAGNET, Professor Danielle Mazza, dead of Monash University’s Department of General Practice, said the database provides a unique view of Australian general practice and offers opportunities to undertake research to inform policy and practice.
“Not only does MAGNET provide a rich data-set of medical records contextualized in the practice setting, but it provides the perfect platform for longitudinal studies and the rapid evaluation of policy initiatives,” Professor Mazza said.
The Department of General Practice Research Showcase Day, to be held prior to the MAGNET launch, will provide an overview of the research being undertaken within the department. Projects centred on women’s and children’s health, chronic disease, medical education, and research translation will be on display.
Professor Mazza said the importance of general practice and primary care to the health of Australians cannot be overstated.
“Statistics show that more than 14.5 million Australians aged 15 and over see a GP every year, with more than 80 percent visiting more than once. The research undertaken in our department is geared towards improving this vital aspect of health care for the benefit of the wider community,” Professor Mazza said.
About Monash University’s Department of General Practice
Like the Monash Medical School, the Department of General Practice (DGP) is part of the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. It was established in 1975 and is one of the largest general practice teaching departments in Australia with more than 30 full-time equivalent academic, research and professional staff. It was incorporated into the newly formed School of Primary Health Care within the faculty in 2001.
The department is involved in three principle areas: teaching in the undergraduate medical curriculum, postgraduate studies and general practice and primary care research.
Monash’s Department of General Practice teaches undergraduate medical students in four of the five years of the undergraduate curriculum. They are involved in teaching clinical skills, health promotion and general practice and primary care. The latter involves small group teaching and clinical placements.

Have you applied to JCU Medical School? If you have, this is an important reminder that the medical school interviews will be held in Canada this April/May.
Apply to JCU Medical School!
Professor Ian Wronski, Pro-Vice Chancellor of the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Molecular Sciences, and Mrs. Sandra Hurlock, Associate Faculty Registrar, will be visiting Canada this April/May to conduct interviews for those interested in gaining entry into the JCU Medical School. This is a great opportunity for prospective medical school students to talk about how studying at the tropical James Cook University Medical School could be right for them.
With interviews being a part of the application process to the JCU Medical School program, students can complete this application prerequisite in Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver. For the 2014 intake, JCU will hold interviews with eligible international applicants from Canada either
- in person in Canada this April-May; or
- via videoconferencing in September/October, following the August 31 program application deadline.
About the Interviews
An interview is a necessary component of the admission process for entry into the JCU Medical School and it is strongly encouraged that you undertake the interviews for the JCU medical program earlier rather than later.
It is important to note that the majority of those that have been successful in gaining admission in to the medical program at James Cook University have interviewed in person in Canada, with many receiving offers prior to the application deadline has passed. Video conference interviews that are conducted after the application deadline has passed will occur in September and are quite costly as JCU has specific teleconferencing requirements. It is recommended that you undertake and participate in the in-person interviews in Canada in April/May.
It is in your best interest to be selected for an in-person interview in Canada, as early offers of admission will be made for this program in June and August, and fewer interview offers are issued for the interviews via video conference in September/October.
Interviews Schedule
April 29 – 30, 2013: Toronto
May 2, 2013: Calgary
May 3 – 4, 2013: Vancouver
To Schedule an Interview
Please fill out a James Cook University Medical School meeting request form: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JCUMBBS2013int
