Why did my seizures start now? maybe it's default mode network connectivity, maybe it's your genes!! another fun paper with superstar @aaewarren ✨✨✨ Epilepsia onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ep…

Maldonado et al. use in vivo tractography and post-mortem dissections to study the connections joining the pulvinar to the temporal lobe. They describe four branches, and study their functions via electrical stimulation in awake surgery. tinyurl.com/42vkzvjw

Should you use FDG PET in your work up for #epilepsy surgery? Absolutely!! Read this extensive systematic review and meta analysis by the fabulous Merran Courtney here neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN… Terence O'Brien Andrew Neal Translational Medicine at Monash University Dr Ana Antonic-Baker

Our article examining the association of localising 18F-FDG-PET hypometabolism and outcome following epilepsy surgery has just been published in Neurology Journal with Lucy Vivash Terence O'Brien Andrew Neal Translational Medicine at Monash University Monash STM Neuroscience (1/4) neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

Epilepsy surgery outcomes are better with focal PET concordant hypometabolism... regardless of MRI. Thanks Merran Courtney Lucy Vivash for leading this exhaustive and practice changing meta-analysis. 🙌

It is a great privilege to be appointed Deputy Head of the Department of Neuroscience at Monash University Monash STM Neuroscience Looking forward to working with Helmut butzkueven the amazing scientists, operations personnel and other stakeholders to see our department continue to flourish

Can epilepsy surgery halt - or even reverse - cognitive decline in children? 🧠👶 To answer this, we studied long-term neuropsychological trajectories before and after epilepsy surgery. Honoured to have this published in Brain 🔗 tinyurl.com/2s3wu9u6 🧵Main findings:

Ketogenic diet is an impt therapy for drug resistant epilepsy. Excellent interview from our expert Neha Dietitian discussing keto and being a fantastic advocate for patients with epilepsy! So lucky to have you in our comprehensive epilepsy team Translational Medicine at Monash University
