Valentina Galassi Deforie, a final year Ph.D. student of the UCL Neurogenetics Lab, speaks of using frog eggs to research the epilepsies and some new mutations discovered - e.g. those of the KCNA6 and NARS1 genes!
Critical Care/ICU physician Stéphane Legriel talks about the ICTALGroup - an organisation formed of clinicians around France who share knowledge to improve the care of people experiencing status epilepticus.
Stéphane Legriel: a Critical Care physician explains status epilepticus and how he helps people experiencing this dangerous, ongoing, epileptic seizure.
M. Scott Perry talks of just some of the identified disparities in epilepsy care plus then there's chat about brain art - an important method of communication when it comes to epilepsy, neuroscience, and more! This is part 2 of 2 with Scott.
Scott Perry - Head of neurosciences and pediatric epileptologist at Cook Children’s hospital tells us all about genetic testing and measuring the effectiveness of epilepsy surgeries in children. This is part 1 of 2 with Scott.
Hear of Richard Baines and his team use fruit flies in epilepsy research, the discoveries made, and the next steps for epilepsy research! Also hear more about the incredible Fly Facility at Manchester University!
Who knew that fruit flies were so valuable in researching the epilepsies?! Learn of the fascinating reasons as to why flies are used, by leader Richard Baines from the Fly Facility at Manchester University. This is part 1 of 2 with Richard.
Post-doc research fellow Eden Robertson from UNSW, Australia, speaks of her GenE Compass project results and how to support caregivers of those with a DEE, the benefits of altruism, and working towards health equity.
Behavioural scientist Eden Robertson from UNSW, Australia, shares with us her work into improving the lives of caregivers of children with a Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathy, who must be provided with education and support.
Climate change is real. Hear of the threats posed by climate change to those with epilepsy and what we can do to help make change and minimise risk. With Prof. Sanjay M Sisodiya - Consultant Neurologist at UCL Queen Square.
Hear how graphene technology can access and record abnormal brain activity where EEG electrodes can't! With epilepsy researcher Rob Wykes: from both UCL Hospital for Neurology & Manchester University!
Hear about the study measuring impact of the ketogenic diet upon gut microbiota & epileptic seizures - by Research Specialist Stefanie Prast-Nielsen! This is part 2 of 2.
Stefanie Prast-Nielsen from the Karolinska Institutet talks about how gut microbiota and its links to epilepsy! This is part 1 of 2.
Usha Kini: a professor in clinical genetics from Oxford University tells us about her work on the new, exciting epilepsy genetics pilot project called Genseize.
Adult epileptologist and researcher Heidi Munger Clary tells us about epilepsy patient suicide risk identification and prevention, access to help, and tools for clinicians and patients. Which are in great demand!!
Adult epileptologist Heidi Mungar Clary tells us about her cool research into the topics (presented at the ILAE EEC conference in Geneva) and how we can improve the lives of people affected by epilepsy, depression, and anxiety.
Learn how the depression and anxiety of people with epilepsy (and other neurological disorders) can be addressed in a new, unique, remote way by clinical psychologist & senior research fellow Milena Gandy.
In episode 2 with Phil Tittensor, he shares with us how and why he became an Epilepsy Consultant Nurse and some of his research projects covering risk communication, climate change, and Artificial Intelligence.
Phil Tittensor, a consultant nurse for the epilepsies, lecturer, and chair of ESNA; explains both the variety of positions and responsibilities held by an Epilepsy Specialist Nurse and their value.
EEG results are not always easy to interpret! Learn how Shilpa Reddy trains other clinicians when it comes to EEGs, epilepsy diagnoses, encouraging questions, and reaching out to the public!
