Brain and brain waves in epilepsy, computer illustration. This EEG (electroencephalogram) illustration shows generalized epilepsy, affecting the whole brain cortex: all the EEG traces show chaotic brain waves. Epilepsy can take many forms, and have different effects. This could illustrate both benign epilepsy (inherited childhood form that normally improves with age), and myoclonic epilepsy (form that causes muscle contractions). An EEG measures electrical activity in the brain using electrodes attached to the scalp.

NEGOTIN, SERBIA - SEPTEMBER 13: A view of the wreckage of German warship, in Negotin, Serbia on September 13, 2024. A German warship, dating back to World War II, has resurfaced in Serbia's Danube River near the eastern village of Prahovo in the Negotin region due to receding water levels caused by recent extreme heat. The vessel is believed to be part of Nazi Germany's Black Sea fleet, which was abandoned by retreating German forces in 1944 as the Soviet army advanced.
