From June 22-26, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) will hold its major biennial event in Bangkok, Thailand. Dr. Davis’s lecture will be given as part of the XV Workshop on Neurobiology of Epilepsy (WONEOP). The major topic of WONOEP XV will be to discuss working definitions and classification schemes for epileptic seizures across the lifespan, improve methods of seizure recognition, detection, and classification and facilitate translation across species.

Preya Shah, M.D., Ph.D, Publishes in Brain: A Journal of Neurology
Preya Shah, M.D., Ph.D., a former student in the Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics, published a paper on Friday in Brain highlighting the contributions of neural structure to functional networks in epilepsy.
The article, titled “Characterizing the role of the structural connectome in seizure dynamics”, reveals the presence of patient-specific spatiotemporal patterns, indicating that seizure dynamics are tightly controlled by the underlying structure of the brain. Understanding these highly stereotyped patterns may pave the way for new therapies and individualized intervention strategies in epilepsy.
