Lectures are given by scientists and doctors of the Second Faculty of Medicine, Charles University - Epileptological Research Center (EpiReC).
Epilepsy is the most common chronic brain disease that manifests itself in repeated seizures. About a third of people with epilepsy have seizures that do not respond to treatment. Selected patients may undergo surgical treatment in which a neurosurgeon removes the area of the brain that contains the epileptic neurons that trigger the seizures.
As part of the block of lectures, the audience will be introduced to the problem of epilepsy, how the area of the brain where the epileptic focus is located can be visualized using the most modern methods, or how to find the source of epileptic activity in the brain. Visitors will also hear about the most modern neurosurgical procedures, how to remove an epileptic focus, and what treatments will replace them in the future.
