It’s Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness! ?? In honor of Purple Day, we’re raising awareness about epilepsy and its impact on brain health. Our BrainWise article, "Understanding the Ins and Outs of Epilepsy", features Dr. Bruce Hermann, an expert in epilepsy research, who discusses the cognitive and behavioral consequences of epilepsy, including the impact of seizure disorders on cognition, psychiatric health, and quality of life. Dr. Hermann explores how neuropsychological assessments can help identify the effects of epilepsy on the brain and guide treatment decisions. Additionally, if you're looking to expand your knowledge on epilepsy, our "Neuropsychology of Epilepsy and Epilepsy Surgery" course is now open for registration. This 8-week course covers everything from seizure disorders and neuroimaging to cognitive consequences of epilepsy and treatment options, including surgery and medications. Earn 16 CE credits while deepening your understanding of this critical topic. ?? Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gEFEg6nz ?? Register for the course here:https://lnkd.in/dZhbF6kG
