DESCRIPTION: \n\nThe 2023-2024 Neuro Epilepsy Lecture Series will include e
 ight lectures covering hot topics in basic and clinical epilepsy research.
  Speakers will include distinguished leaders and rising stars\, with the g
 oal of bridging basic research and clinical perspectives.\n\n\nTo register
 \n\nTo view the livestreaming\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Anna Elisabetta Vaudano\, M.
 D.\, PhD\n\nAssistant Professor\, Dept. of Biomedical\, Metabolic and Neur
 al Sciences\, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia\, Italy\n\nAbstract: 
 Simultaneous scalp recording of EEG and functional MRI (EEG-fMRI) is a tec
 hnique capable of revealing the brain regions engaged during the epileptic
  discharge based on local blood oxygenation level–dependent (BOLD) signal 
 variations. Compared to resting-state fMRI studies\, the presence of elect
 rophysiological data during fMRI provide the indubitable advantage to know
  in real time the ongoing cerebral activity of the patient\, including the
  level of vigilance and its oscillations. First applications of EEG-fMRI i
 n epilepsy were mainly oriented to the identification of the epileptogenic
  zone in focal epilepsies. After almost 30 years of experience\, this tech
 nique has been shown to be extremely valid to show\, more than the single 
 focus\, the complex epileptogenic networks both in focal and in generalize
 d epilepsies. This could represent a limitation for the surgical prospecti
 ve while instead highlights the applicability of the EEG-fMRI method for i
 ncreasing the knowledge on the epileptogenesis\, identify bio-markers of w
 ell-defined epileptic syndrome and discover the cognitive effect of epilep
 tic activity. These aspects will be discussed in the light of speaker’s pe
 rsonal experiences and publications and the latest progresses of fMRI and 
 EEG data analyses. With more than 400 patients scanned with EEG-fMRI\, the
  Modena’s University Hospital\, where Dr. Vaudano works as clinical neurol
 ogist and assistant professor\, is a national and international hub for th
 e acquisition\, setting and analysis of EEG-fMRI data in epilepsy.\n
