DESCRIPTION:The 2022-2023 Neuro Epilepsy Lecture Series will include eight 
 lectures covering hot topics in basic and clinical epilepsy research. Spea
 kers will include distinguished leaders and rising stars\, with the goal o
 f bridging basic research and clinical perspectives.\n\n\nTo register: eve
 ntbrite\n\nLink to livestreaming coming soon (Q&A function is not accessib
 le)\n\nSpeaker: John S. Duncan\n	Professor\, UCL Queen Square Institute of 
 Neurology\, UK\n\nAbstract: The modern era of neuroimaging applied to epil
 epsy began 50 years ago with the advent of X-ray CT\, followed by Positron
  Emission Tomography (PET)\, and then MRI in the 1980s. Over the interveni
 ng decades we have seen remarkable developments of the scope and sophistic
 ation of structural and functional imaging of the brain that are probing t
 he causes and consequences of the epilepsies. In parallel with the new ran
 ge of multimodal acquisitions\, there has been a tremendous growth of tech
 niques to analyze the vast amounts of data that are now produced and which
  require a high level of skills in image and signal analysis and in comput
 er-science\, to infer changes in brain architecture and function. The chal
 lenging complexity of data is met by multidisciplinary teams of clinicians
  specializing in neurology\, neuropsychology and neurosurgery working with
  experts in data science and genetics to interpret the biological signific
 ance of changes in large populations of well-characterized individuals. In
  order to translate advances to achieve clinical benefit for individual pa
 tients with epilepsy\, it is necessary to apply a very different mindset a
 nd approach to that used in group studies of populations. In the coming de
 cade we anticipate that multimodal neuroimaging will underpin individualiz
 ed precision in diagnosis and treatment of the epilepsies.\n\nBio: John Du
 ncan is a Consultant Neurologist specializing in epilepsy\, practicing at 
 the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery\, Queen Square\, Lond
 on and at Chalfont Centre for Epilepsy\, His personal research focus is ne
 uroimaging applied to epilepsy surgery. He was appointed Professor of Neur
 ology at the UCL Institute of Neurology in 1998. From 2012 to 2018 he was 
 Clinical Director of the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
  He is NIHR Senior Investigator and Governor of UCL Hospitals. In 2004 he 
 received the annual Clinical Research recognition award of the American Ep
 ilepsy Society. He is past-President and past treasurer of the UK chapter 
 of ILAE. In 2005 he was elected Ambassador for Epilepsy and to be a Fellow
  of the Academy of Medical Sciences.\n\n\n*This event will be held virtual
 ly via Zoom\n
