Workshop 2

Epileptic Networks: From Basic Science to Clinics
(Lecture Hall F5)

This workshop focuses on the complex topic of epileptic networks and lies at the interface between basic sciences and their clinical implications. Starting from an understanding of epilepsy as a network disorder involving cortical and subcortical structures, we will address different aspects of epileptic network dysfunction. We will discuss epileptic brain networks in animal models, optogenetics, neuromodulation in humans and implications for brain imaging.
