Epileptologist and clinical neurophysiologist. Here to talk about everything epilepsy and neurology.
An amazing read and what a concise thread !!
Is generalized epilepsy a seizure of the whole brain or a specific brain network?
In our new paper out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social, we investigate this by combining brain abnormalities and DBS with the human connectome.

Do you know what to do following a sports-related concussion? Should we be prescribing 'cocooning,' which is strict cognitive and physical rest? NO. The recommendation should be "light physical activity and graduated aerobic exercise tailored to symptoms and heart rate. Initiate in 24-72 hours."

Here are my highlights from the progress that we saw at #AES2024 for rare epilepsy syndromes:
1 - The future is now: tangible progress in disease-modification
2 - Beyond seizures in DEEs
3 - Beyond the largest DEEs

Health insurance industry PR is working overtime right now diverting blame to physicians for claim denials and rising costs. I feel compelled to remind everybody that Optum (UHC) is the largest employer of physicians in the US. We have never had less power in healthcare than we do right now.

Why is the EPA banning TCE for Parkinson's? The odds ratio for the dry cleaning chemical TCE and association with later Parkinson's is ridiculously high. and the community should thank the EPA and embrace this decision as a huge WIN for Parkinson's. This is a BIG DEAL.
