ALT "Epilepsy surgery is a feasible and safe treatment option for COL4A1/2-associated epilepsy. While curative in patients with unilateral lesions, bilateral cases can benefit from a “non-curative” approach focused on seizure mitigation and neurodevelopmental protection. Multimodal imaging, specifically FDG-PET, can be helpful in identifying highly epileptogenic cortical areas within widespread structural damage and serve as a basis for surgical planning."

ALT "Validating LGS diagnoses using EHR data is complex and resource intensive. Standardized terminology, structured documentation, and rigorous multicenter validation may improve diagnostic accuracy, research cohort identification, computable phenotype development, and longitudinal care for individuals with LGS. Our results highlight important operational lessons for multicenter rare epilepsy studies and underscore the need for improved diagnosis pathways and longitudinal care systems for those with LGS and their families."

ALT Join us next week for the Caribbean Nurses Epilepsy Web Conference on patient education and counseling! During the 15 November web conference, nurses will learn general skills on counseling patients, families, and caregivers about #SUDEP, being a woman living with #epilepsy, common psychiatric comorbidities of epilepsy, seizure logs, and treatment adherence. Register at www.ilae.org/webinar/15nov26

ALT The ILAE e-Forum: Genomics – when, why and how? was an excellent educational opportunity for participants. Of those who completed the post-session survey, 100% said they gained a great deal or moderate amount of new knowledge from the e-Forum. Did you miss this session? It is now available on demand for all to view at www.ilae.org/eforum/2026-3. #epilepsywebinar #epilepsy #genomics #brainhealth #neurology

ALT The scientific programme at #EEC2026 showcased the breadth of today’s epilepsy care and research, with 130+ sessions spanning basic and translational science, clinical epileptology, genetics, neuroimaging, surgical and pharmacological treatments, digital health, AI and more. These were the five most attended sessions in Athens, with audiences ranging from 700 to over 1,000 delegates. Missed one of these sessions? On-demand content is available to registered delegates until 9 December in the congress app. #epilepsycongress #epilepsy #brainhealth #neurology #epilepsyresearch #neuroscience

ALT Submit an abstract for the XIX Workshop on Neurobiology of Epilepsy! The topic and theme is “Advancing Epilepsy Models: Innovation, Validation, and Translation.” WONOEP 2027 will take place in Utrecht, Netherlands from 23 - 27 August, leading up to the 37th International Epilepsy Congress in Amsterdam. Find more information on abstract submissions at www.ilae.org/wonoep2027 #epilepsycongress #epilepsy #brainhealth #neurology #epilepsyresearch #neurobiology

ALT Join us next week for a free educational webinar with ILAE-Europe on Genetic Testing Across the Lifespan! This session will address many of the hot topics in #epilepsy genetics, including equal access to genetic testing across Europe, defining whom to test, how much we can predict with genetic testing in 2026, #genetics and epilepsy surgery, and more. Register for the 13 November session at www.ilae.org/webinar/13nov26

ALT "This large European cohort demonstrates a high genetic diagnostic yield in neonatal-onset DEE, supporting first-line whole-exome sequencing as the preferred first-tier genetic test. The persistence of severe neurodevelopmental impairment despite seizure control highlights the need for precision therapies targeting disease mechanisms in addition to seizure management."
