North American Commission Symposium:
Epilepsy Classification: Hot Controversies in 2012
Overview:
Classification of the epilepsies is a dynamic concept that continues to undergo re-evaluation, especially in light of advances in structural and functional neuro-imaging, genetics and neuro-immunology. This symposium, sponsored by the International League Against Epilepsy, will focus on the newly updated organization of the epilepsies, exploring the emerging concept of diagnostic specificity and how this relates to clinical practice. Controversies that have arisen regarding the specific aspects of classification, namely structural, genetic and immune, will be presented.
Full Program
Joint ILAE/AES workshop to optimize preclinical epilepsy therapy discovery.
London UK, September 28-29, 2012
A joint International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE)- American Epilepsy Society (AES) workshop to optimize and accelerate preclinical epilepsy therapy discovery took place at Customs House Hotel in London, U.K., on September 28-29, 2012. The purpose of this workshop was to identify optimal methodology and strategies for the discovery, validation and translation of new therapies into the clinics as well as recommend infrastructure developments that may enhance and de-risk therapy discovery for seizures, epilepsies, and their comorbidities.
Specific working groups were assigned to address the clinical gaps and opportunities (chair: Jacqueline French), general issues (chair: Aristea Galanopoulou), issues related to antiseizure treatments (chair: Karen Wilcox), antiepileptogenic treatments (chair: Asla Pitkanen), anti-comorbidity treatments (chair: Amy Brooks-Kayal), biomarkers (chair: Pete Engel), or de-risking the transition to clinical trials (chairs: Michele Simonato, Terence O’Brien).
This workshop was organized by Drs French, Galanopoulou, O’Brien, and Simonato, was attended by 49 international investigators and was made possible through the generous co-sponsorship by the ILAE, AES, CURE, Epilepsy Therapy Project, and Autism Speaks.
