Functional/dissociative seizures may reflect how the brain regulates the body under uncertainty - where psychiatric vulnerability/co-morbidity, bodily state, and symptom expression meet.

In this work led by @rokand.bsky.social we show that brain responses to heartbeats (HEP) diverge before different seizure types and track bodily symptoms in related conditions.

Pleased to see this out ! In it we propose that the nature or semiology of functional/dissociative seizures may not be random. academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

3/ Look beyond the spike: integrated care and research across all seizure disorders.

2/ A narrow, spike-only prism fails not only FDS but also epilepsy patients. FDS reveal shared networks, comorbidities—and often the same people. FDS have something to teach us about epilepsy.

1/ Epileptology has traditionally neglected functional/dissociative seizures (FDS) in clinic and research—too often because “it isn’t epilepsy.”

We hope that many neurologists (in particular epileptologists & paediatric neurologists), epilepsy nurses & other healthcare professionals are attending this training. Research has shown that over 20% of those with functional seizures also have epilepsy. 💚🧡 @epilepsyireland.bsky.social #FND
