Top experts in the field explore the underutilization of epilepsy surgery as a public health crisis, and recent paradigm shifts in how epilepsy surgery is conceptualized that may help bring significant improvement to greater numbers of people with drug-resistant epilepsy.
- Contains 16 relevant, practice-oriented topics, including pediatric neurostimulation and practice evolution; brain stimulation in pediatric generalized epilepsy; imaging and SEEG functional networks to guide epilepsy surgery; sensing-enabled deep brain stimulation in epilepsy; thalamic stimulation to prevent impaired consciousness; gene therapy for epilepsy; and more.
- Provides in-depth clinical reviews on paradigm shifts in epilepsy surgery, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
- Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
