To better understand #epilepsy, we need to look at both the brain as a whole and at individual neurons. But how do we do this? In this interview from #SfN2022, we talk to Jennifer Gelinas Columbia University about the techniques she uses to do this. bit.ly/3VS4AjJ

Vicky Whittemore Ph.D., program director for the ⁦NIH⁩’s NINDS said: “These findings provide unique insights into the role the microbiome plays in the disease and suggest that certain differences in gut microbes could serve as biomarkers for #MECFS healthrising.org/blog/2023/02/1…

Incredible talk today from my colleague Carlos R. Ponce during our seminar series @FMKirbyNeuro. Amazing science and a beautiful presentation about how his lab uses neural networks to better understand visual perception.

It was a privilege to be mentored by these ladies in my early years as an advocate. 13 awe inspiring years. What they accomplished deserves a medal. We stand on the shoulders of those who came before so we can see further. Thank you for all you have done, Susan and Barb. 🙏

Had a fantastic day today at #MERPS2023 - epilepsy research discussion, meeting old and new colleagues, and forging a research network. Truly so happy to join a fantastic and dynamic UK epilepsy community! Thanks to Sk Wright, my co-organizer and professional partner in crime!
