Major Research Theme
|
Epilepsy, one of the most common neurological conditions in the world, remains medically intractable in an estimated 675,000 Americans. Despite many advances in drug therapy and surgical procedures over the past several decades, the proportion of epilepsy patients who have uncontrolled seizures has unfortunately remained largely the same. The overall goal of our research is to understand better the ways in which epilepsy develops in the human brain and thus allow for new therapies that can eliminate seizures, minimize side effects and risks of therapy, and improve productivity and quality of life. |
