Lafora disease should always be considered in the DD of progressive, myoclonic, refractory epilepsy.
We’ve recently diagnosed at @CentDinoFerrari a novel LD patient carrying a EPM2B variant never described in homozygosity before, and showing unusual findings at muscle biopsy.

Enjoying singing all mad-med things to my 6-month old son 🧠🤩🤪
Starting a new series of videos featuring puppets and song parodies about #meded and #neurology. Tentatively calling it MedSongs.
This first one lists every* muscle in the human body! Will post one new video per week until they're all gone.

Excited to see our 🆕 paper out in @braincomms 🧠
We analysed data from > 4000 #epilepsy patients to map focal seizure-semiologies-to-brain-regions to aid presurgical planning 🔥
Check it out 👉🏻 academic.oup.com/braincomms/…

New results from our longitudinal #OxQUIP study now out @BMJ_Open 🙌🏻
How does #ProgressiveSupranuclearPalsy evolve over 2 years at 3-month follow-up?
Pereira et al’s showed UPDRS-III & PSPRS detect motor decline less than 24 months from onset.
@NeuroMetrology @NDCNOxford
Very pleased to share our latest work just out @BMJ_Open on Longitudinal changes of early motor and cognitive symptoms in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: the OxQUIP study with @GunterHoglinger @NDCNOxford
Many thanks to @PSPAssociation and @ucb_news

Thank you EPDA for sharing our study! We're inviting anyone above 60 (with or without PD) to join this study for a strong comparison group that is essential in determining how PD may affect time perception. Take the test here: research.sc/participant/logi…
#WorldParkinsonsDay A heartfelt thanks to all the artists living with Parkinson's for sharing their wonderful artwork through such a moving film. Please watch & share!
#WorldParkinsonsDay A real pleasure and an honour to be part of this and delighted to share with you this moving film showcasing the artwork from PwP from both sides of the Atlantic @ParkinsonsArtUK @ParkinsonsUK @PUK_Oxford

Utterly thrilled to be starting my postdoc @NDCNOxford w/ the fabulous @NeuroMetrology Group!
Also glad to keep nurturing links w/ my previous team @UCLIoN @QSNeurosurgery as honorary member.
So grateful to work w/ such great colleagues to make a difference to our patients 🙏
🎉Join us @ the UCL Festival of Early Stage Researchers #UCLFESR21 to develop identity, wellbeing, career pathways and research culture!
🧠A basic but not trivial key to feel and perform at best in research is certainly the conscious #breathing - fab workshop running just now👇
Wellness is incredibly important for any career path and during the #UCLFESR21, that doesn't change. Join the 'Breathing workshop' at 12pm today but book your slot on our website if you haven't already.

Looking forward to chatting w/ #AES2020 attendees about our #Semio2BrainAtlas🧠 ➡️poster #893 track 3-Neurophysiology @ 1:30-3pm EST/ 6:30-8pm GMT
In parallel @Alim_Marvasti will present a retrospective validation of @fepegar_ Visualisation Tool ➡️poster #1014 track 9-Surgery.
Thrilled to attend the #AES2020 virtual conference & to present our research on Sun-Mon 🙌
If interested in #semiologymapping and #presurgicalplanning come to posters #250 #1014 #893 & chat with @fepegar_ @Alim_Marvasti & myself 🤓
Thanks @AmEpilepsySoc for such a nice welcome!
Our Semio2Brain Atlas🧠 is finally coming to public light after 2y of hard work, and yesterday it won its first award at the @ILAEBRITISH conference, thanks to @fepegar_ 's excellent presentation👏! #seizuresemiologymapping #epilepsysurgery @QSNeurosurgery @UCLIoN @KingsImaging
Congratulations to: @fepegar_ for his presentation:
'Towards Objective Targeting of Intracranial Electroencephalography Using Data-Driven Semiology-Brain Visualisation'
A must-read by my fav mathematician @mcpiastra 😍
🤩A new exciting paper by our very own Dr @mcpiastra and Prof Carsten Wolters from @WWU_Muenster is out in Human Brain Mapping‼️Highly detailed FEM‐based SNR mappings shed a new light on the sensitivity of EEG and MEG to cortical and subcortical sources 🧠 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
