First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026
Summary
This study aims to better understand two serious brain conditions: status epilepticus (prolonged seizures) and dysimmune encephalitis (brain inflammation caused by the immune system). Researchers will collect blood, spinal fluid, and brain tissue from 400 participants to identify antibodies and markers of nerve cell damage. The goal is to find new biomarkers that could improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
