Let me tell you, folks, we had an incredible session at the American Epilepsy Society meeting, the Temporal Lobe Club Special Interest Group, in December 2022. It was fantastic, really something. We talked about the latest and greatest in treating temporal epilepsy. We’re not just talking about what’s already out there – no, we’re looking at the future, the cutting-edge stuff.
Dr. Chengyuan Wu, a real expert, believe me, he talked about ablative techniques. We’re talking laser interstitial thermal ablation, radiofrequency ablation, focused ultrasound – powerful tools to zap epilepsy. Then, Dr. Joon Kang, another top mind, he discussed neuromodulation. That’s electrical stimulation, focused ultrasound – it’s like a symphony in the brain, folks.
Dr. Julia Makhalova, she’s brilliant, she dove into the network effects of these techniques. It’s all connected, you know? And Dr. Derek Southwell, he’s doing something really special – inhibitory interneuron transplantation. We’re talking about groundbreaking work here.
These summaries, they’re just the tip of the iceberg. You want to know more? There are references – the best references – for you to get all the details. This is the future of epilepsy treatment, and it’s going to be huge.
