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.
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.
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.
