An ambulatory EEG is a long-term EEG recording performed outside of the hospital, typically in the patient’s home. For many patients, being at home reduces stress and allows for more natural sleep and daily activity patterns. Since seizures and other neurological events often occur unpredictably, monitoring in a real-world environment can increase the likelihood of capturing typical events. There truly is no place like home.

As neurodiagnostic technologists, encountering a patient having a seizure in the lab can vary greatly depending on the setting. Technologists working in an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) may witness seizures on a daily basis. In contrast, those in outpatient EEG labs may encounter this situation far less frequently. Regardless of frequency, knowing proper seizure first aid is essential to ensuring patient safety and maintaining confidence in critical moments. The goal of this

Epilepsy is not a single story—it is a collection of many, each written by the brain. When people hear the word epilepsy, they often imagine one type of seizure: dramatic shaking, sudden collapse, and loss of control. In reality, epilepsy is a broad group of neurological disorders known as epilepsy syndromes, each with distinct seizure types, EEG patterns, triggers, and long-term considerations.

This next post in our EEG in Epilepsy Series with a closer look at Ohtahara syndrome—also known as Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy.

Alobar Holoprosencephaly Review In today's Record Review video we are going to cover Alobar Holoprosencephaly, a complex malformation of cortical development. The blog information below reflects the information on this condition discussed in the video with resources cited below. We will discuss: What is holoprosencephaly? Classification of types What is alobar holoprosencephaly? Clinical features of alobar holoprosencephaly after birth What causes holoprosencephaly (HPE)? How

The human brain is similar to the busiest nightclub in the world, and instead of DJs, it has brain waves spinning diverse tracks depending on what we’re doing.

This rare, genetic neurological syndrome that primarily effects girls causes a progressive loss of motor skills, developmental delays, breathing difficulties and seizures. What might we expect on the EEG?

Our blog focuses on education and being a resource for all things neurodiagnostic; We wanted to take a moment to share more about who we are

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare neuro‑developmental disorder that affects one in 15,000 people.

It’s November and Integris Neuro is proud to support Epilepsy Awareness Month. With over 50 million people worldwide diagnosed with Epilepsy, spreading awareness and support provides opportunities for treatment and hope for a cure.

When can a febrile seizure be concerning? In the rare circumstance that it is Dravet Syndrome.

Tuberous sclerosis is a rare genetic disease that causes non-cancerous tumors or lesions that grow in the brain and other areas of the body; including the eyes, lung, heart, kidneys, and skin. Due to the lesions being located in the brain these patients can often be seen in our EEG labs receiving testing.

A major role of our immune system is to recognize and eliminate infections. But sometimes parts of the immune system may instead react with our own body to cause autoimmune diseases. When this reaction is against proteins of the limbic areas of the brain, this is called ‘autoimmune limbic encephalitis’.

Did you know that even with advanced tools like EEG monitoring, it can still be difficult to distinguish between frontal lobe seizures and Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES)? While both conditions can present with dramatic symptoms, their origins—and therefore their treatments—are quite different.

Last month Neurodiagnostic professions gathered in New Orleans for the annual ASET Conference and Integris Neuro was thrilled to be...

Epilepsy is a common condition found in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with approximately 1/3rd of patient’s with autism also having seizures. This relationship is complex, and the exact reason for the increased risk of seizures in individuals with autism is still being evaluated.
