DESCRIPTION: \n\nThis named lecture honours the life and legacy of Pierre G
 loor (1923-2003) whose work at The Neuro in understanding and treating epi
 lepsy earned him a worldwide reputation. The Pierre Gloor lecture serves a
 s the pinnacle of the recently inaugurated Epilepsy Lecture Series. A cock
 tail reception will follow.\n\nSpeaker: Fernandes\, Cendes\, Professor\, D

 \n\nTalk Abstract:\n\nThe Advances of MRI in Epilepsies: From Diagnosis an
 d Classification to Pathophysiology and Endophenotypes\n\nHigh-resolution 
 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in defining the etio
 logy and prognosis of medical and surgical treatment in patients with epil
 epsies. The results from an MRI visual analysis of signal characteristics 
 of a suspicious lesion\, its location\, and extent\, with or without postp
 rocessing\, are fundamental to the surgical approach in patients with foca
 l epilepsies. However\, MRI findings are often subtle and may be undetecte
 d even with state-of-the-art MRIs\, particularly in cortical dysplasias (F
 CD). In addition\, advances in computer science and faster hardware enabli
 ng big data analyses transformed the neuroimaging research field\, leading
  to new avenues in clinical research. Research applications\, including di
 fferent functional and structural MRI acquisitions\, are leading to new in
 sights into the vast extent of network dysfunction underlying cognitive co
 morbidities and a better understanding of disease mechanisms through imagi
 ng genomics and subclinical quantitative data that could be used as endoph
 enotypes\, to name a few of the potential MRI applications.\n\n \n
