Student highlights: Brittany Scheid at ICTALS 2019
Brittany Scheid, a Ph.D. student at the CNT, presented her work this week on controllability dynamics in the context of responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in epilepsy patients. Average controllability, she explained, is a measure of specific brain regions’ ability to affect their surrounding networks. By applying clinical electrode recordings to models of epileptic network connectivity, Scheid […]
Student Highlights: Andy Revell Enters M.D., Ph.D. Candidacy Upon Passing Qualifying Exam
Andy Revell, an M.D., Ph.D. student mentored by Dr. Davis at the Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics, successfully defended his thesis proposal before a faculty panel Tuesday. Revell’s project focuses on applying graph theory to the modeling of neural networks in the context of epilepsy. Approximately 30% of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) do […]
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 […]
