New system captures seizures in real time

A new study is among the first to provide a high-resolution 3D video of a seizure event.

A seizure is a sudden, overwhelming wave of electrical energy passing through the brain in a matter of seconds—so fast, in fact, that it’s been nearly impossible to fully capture where these electrical bursts originate, how they move and where they stop.

That’s why University of Georgia researchers developed a new high-resolution light-sheet imaging system that is fast enough...
