What should people with epilepsy avoid? Find out from Dr David Vaughan, Imaging Lead at the Australian Epilepsy Project (AEP). Ask an Epilepsy Expert is a video series taking on some of the common questions asked about epilepsy. Follow the series on the AEP social channels. #Epilepsy #EpilepsyResearch #BreakTheStigma The Florey

Carney-affiliated trainees Michael Freund, Joshua Hewson, Alana Jaskir and Daniel Scott were named winners of the 2024 BRAINSTORM Challenge! This annual event challenges students to tackle a clinical dataset to try to answer important questions about a real-world problem. This year’s event focused on how the brain encodes memory–an area which has important implications for the treatment of conditions like epilepsy.

Spotlight on the Research Networks of Excellence in Women’s Heart and/or Brain Health funded by Heart & Stroke, Brain Canada & IGH ? Forming the first formal research network in Canada dedicated to studying stroke in women, Dr. Amy Yu & team has designed a research program to understand why there are more women living with the consequences of stroke than men, and why stroke affects women and men differently. Answering these questions is critical for identifying treatments and therapies to help women recover their health and function after stroke. Learn more ?? https://buff.ly/3BpPCgf

Early intervention after the first seizure may prevent long-term epilepsy and cognitive deficits! ??? Researchers at Penn Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Health System discovered that only a small portion of neurons are activated in epileptic brains, offering promising targets for future treatments. An experimental treatment given within 48 hours of the first seizure could prevent long-term changes and improve outcomes.

Diane Shao, MD, PhD, a physician-scientist at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital, sees it as her job to understand why her young patients have neurodevelopmental disabilities and how they came to have them. To find those answers, she's probing unexplored depths of the human brain by sequencing the whole genomes of individual fetal neurons.

When we join forces to champion Brain Health and Prevention, we can create a healthier world for all! This #WorldBrainDay2024 we're bringing awareness to actionable insights for prevention. Let’s come together on World Brain Day to learn how we can protect our future when it comes to brain health! #WBD2024 #BrainHealthandPrevention Five Key Messages: 1. Neurological disorders are preventable through early detection and effective management. 2. Spreading awareness about the importance of adopting a proactive approach to brain health is crucial. 3. Ensuring equal access to preventive measures is essential to creating a more inclusive and equitable healthcare landscape. 4. Healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers play pivotal roles in addressing the global neurological crisis. 5. Education and advocacy efforts must be intensified to ensure that every individual has the knowledge and resources to prioritize and maintain their brain health.

After yesterday’s Symposium, we’re back today at the 15th European Epilepsy Congress (ILAE 2024) in Rome, to host another special Symposium entitled “Seizures beget more than seizures: the impact of uncontrolled epilepsy.” ?? We’re going to talk about the impact of seizures at many levels: from the cellular/network level with Prof. Heinz Beck analyzing the consequences of repeated seizure activity, to Dr. Marian Galovic talking about the changes in human brain structure and function, and finally Prof. Dr. Adam Strzelczyk exploring the consequences uncontrolled seizures have at individual but also society level. #AngeliniPharma #EveryStepCloser #WithYouInMind #ILAE2024?

#breakingnews-A new study held by Scientists at?Tufts University School of Medicine shows Traumatic Brain Injuries affect the entire brain, not just the injury site, altering how brain regions communicate and adapt to tasks. This insight into brain plasticity opens new avenues for targeted treatment and rehabilitation, with further research planned to explore long-term changes and intervention strategies. This study underscores the complexity of how injury affects a dynamic and always-changing brain. Most people think of the brain in one state, but their data indicates there are fluctuations, and it might offer opportunities to explore different interventions for physical therapy, speech therapy, and more.
