AES is recognizing Epilepsy Awareness Month with its Epilepsy: A Window on the Brain campaign. We use this familiar phrase to highlight the amazing work underway by researchers around the globe that is not only informing our understanding of epilepsy, but it is helping shed light on other disorders with similar underlying mechanisms. Autism, cerebral palsy, tuberous sclerosis, neurofibromatosis and Alzheimer’s disease are just a few of the conditions that benefit from epilepsy research.
During November, AES is featuring just a few of the many groundbreaking developments made within the last 10-50 years. This work is often led by our members who dedicate their professional work to opening new windows of understanding and working toward a world without epilepsy.
We hope you will join us in recognizing Epilepsy as a Window on the Brain by:
• Downloading these consumer articles and sharing them with your patients
• Highlighting epilepsy awareness in your institution’s newsletter or website
• Tweeting or retweeting AES this month.
