November 5, 2014 ‐‐ Rapidly emerging technologies, novel imaging techniques, the development of new therapies and new genes, have given researchers and clinicians an extraordinary ability to explore the brain at the cellular, genetic and neural levels. While current epilepsy research may seem like it’s ripped from the pages of a science fiction novel, it’s real—and even pretty cool. Epilepsy provides researchers with unparalleled avenues to discover how the brain is structured and how it functions: a true ‘window on the brain.’ In recognition of Epilepsy Awareness Month the American Epilepsy Society (AES) is highlighting just a few of the groundbreaking scientific developments made within the last 10‐50 years. New anti‐seizure drug development, brain mapping, optogenetics and devices have increased our understanding of epilepsy but most importantly, have given new hope to the 2.3 million Americans living with the condition.
