What does epilepsy care look like when a clinician has to see more than 60 people in one day? Prof. Mamta Singh shares what high-volume epilepsy care really looks like in New Delhi - from specialist epilepsy clinics to outreach services across rural India.

Can exercise improve memory in people with an epilepsy? Jane Allendorfer shares early evidence from a six-week intervention and her newly completed randomised trial exploring how physical activity may drive cognitive improvement and changes in brain connectivity.

A deep dive into how combined MEG and high-density EEG can precisely localise seizure source in children with drug-resistant epilepsy, improving surgical decision-making and outcomes! With Christos Papadelis, Ph.D..

Exploring how epilepsy care goes beyond seizures, with a focus on mood, cognition, and the real-life priorities that shape quality of life, with Epilepsy Nurse Practicioner, Dr. Lucretia Long.

Many children suitable for epilepsy surgery are still not referred for evaluation. Asst. Prof. Juan Perez discusses the barriers behind this in Latin American and the steps being taken to address them.

What happens when epilepsy medication doesn’t work? Prof. John Duncan explains how treatment moves beyond medication, including surgery and neuromodulation, and why decisions must balance seizure control, risk, and quality of life.

Why does epilepsy still receive so little funding, attention and public understanding? Intellectual disability nurse Jay Price discusses underfunding, ignorance, misdiagnosis, and how co-produced training could improve care.

MRI scans can miss epilepsy lesions that may be treatable with surgery. Dr. Konrad Wagstyl discusses how his biotech AI tools trained on large MRI datasets are helping detect subtle brain abnormalities and identify surgical candidates earlier.

Generalised epilepsy is often described as involving the whole brain at once. Dr. Frederic Schaper discusses research suggesting shared brain networks may underlie these seizures - and how those networks overlap with targets used for deep brain stimulation.

Psychiatric symptoms are integral to the epilepsies and can shape disease course and quality of life. Dr. Andres M. Kanner explains how depression, anxiety, ADHD, and psychosis influence treatment decisions and outcomes.

Flash-back to our most popular episode! Epileptologist & neurologist Dr. Ángel Aledo-Serrano shares his thoughts regarding the antiseizure medication Levetiracetam/Keppra; its effectiveness and side-effects.

Who benefits from genetic testing in epilepsy, and how should uncertain results be interpreted? Christian Bosselmann discusses genome sequencing, variant interpretation, and why re-analysis over time matters.

Evidence-based insights on how patients and clinicians are already using generative AI in health care, and where the biggest risks and research gaps remain, with Charlotte Blease, PhD.

Accelerated brain ageing is increasingly recognised as part of epilepsy. Dr. Marian Galovic explains what brain imaging reveals about neurodegeneration, why seizures may not be the main driver, and when brain injury risk becomes critical.

Seizure control is often prioritised when assessing childhood epilepsies, but it does not always reflect daily functioning or long-term outcomes. Prof. Kette Valente discusses why non-seizure symptoms must be recognised and assessed alongside seizures to better understand what matters in care.

Why routine EEGs often miss seizures – and how long-term and subcutaneous EEG monitoring can change clinical understanding of seizure burden, treatment decisions, and diagnostic certainty.

In part two, Dr. Ching Soong Khoo discusses practical clinical approaches to obesity in epilepsy, focusing on quality of life, exercise safety, diet, and multidisciplinary care.

Why is obesity so common in people with epilepsy, and why is it so often overlooked in clinical care? This episode explores prevalence data, physical activity, and the consequences of missing obesity in routine epilepsy management.

A parent-led insight into life with Dravet Syndrome, this episode explores family dynamics, caregiving roles, and findings from an ethnographic study capturing the lived experiences of families across Europe.

Prof. Nicola Specchio explores global challenges in caring for people with the epilepsies, from delayed diagnosis & inequitable access to the advances in precision medicine transforming outcomes.
