June's most-read Structural Bio paper presents 3D images show how LGI1 and ADAM22 form a trio-of-trios, a shape that could be key to understanding #epilepsy: https://elifesciences.org/articles/105918?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=submissions_organic&utm_content=top_paper

Hey, if anyone with #epilepsy #migraine or other photosensitivity problems play #FFXIV #ff14 & need help protecting themselves from the excessive VFX of the bosses, esp in #DawnTrail I've made presets for the #Dalamud plugin #EasyEyes

https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/142319

It does *not* remove all VFX, but anything full screen & flashy, strobing, or cumulative problematic effects, is definitely gone. I'm gonna work backwards into other expacs as well

Muir Vidler: Stereo EEG Self-Portrait, 2023

This was taken after a surgical procedure to implant #electrodes into Vidler’s #brain. The procedure is carried out on people who have #epilepsy that can’t be controlled by medication and is used to identify which area of the brain is causing the seizures, and can determine whether they are eligible for brain surgery. Vidler took this picture on the first day that the electrodes were inserted, and he had to keep them in for seven days

How do brain cells communicate, and what goes wrong in #epilepsy?

This new study reveals how two key proteins, LGI1 and ADAM22, come together in groups of three to help organise signals between neurons.

Enjoying a cider in Herefordshire.

My new #epilepsy drug works with the GABA receptors -the same stuff alcohol likes to play with- so its no alcohol for me.
Or at least near zero -this is a very fine cider with only 0.5% strength. Weakened even more by the ice cubes put in to keep it as cool as possible

#343Industries' #Halo #Multiplayer titles are #unwatchable just like #Overwatch...

I mean, look at this...

• All it does is trigger #epilepsy and overstimulate everyone...

We're so close. This will mean a lot for me, from making medical appointments to doing grocery runs to just having some personal freedom & mobility. Please help close this out. Unlock a whole new full #TTRPG at full funding!

I'm starting a new #epilepsy drug tomorrow where drinking alcohol is explicitly forbidden as they both interact with GABA receptors (?) in the brain.
An evening trip to the Antur brewery of Crickhowell, Wales , for some of their Helles pilsner may constitute the last beer for some time. If the new drug works, I am not going to risk a bevvie or two.

A great setting for the event: sitting outside with mountains all around, metres from where the beer is brewed. Hopefully this will be a memory to cherish.

The #SupremeCourt on June 12 unanimously sided with a #disabled student trying to sue her school for not doing enough to accommodate her rare form of #epilepsy, a decision that could make it easier for families to seek damages under the #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct.

The justices said a lower court used the wrong standard when rejecting the #discrimination lawsuit.
