  • Inside One Of The World’s Busiest Epilepsy Clinics - Prof. Mamta Singh
    May 14 2026

    What does epilepsy care look like when a clinician has to see 60 people in a single day?! Prof. Mamta Singh shares what high-volume epilepsy care really looks like in New Delhi - from specialist epilepsy clinics to outreach services across rural regions. We discuss why seizure freedom doesn't automatically equate to good quality of life, how experienced clinicians detect mental health and functional symptoms through observation and communication, cultural aspects, and why listening carefully to patients can sometimes be just as important as EEGs, MRIs, and other investigations!

  • Can Exercise Improve Memory In Epilepsy?! - Dr. Jane Allendorfer
    Apr 30 2026

    Can exercise improve memory in people with an epilepsy? Dr. Jane Allendorfer explores how physical activity may drive measurable changes in verbal learning, memory function, and hippocampal connectivity! Building on a 6-week pilot study showing improved memory performance, we hear about her newly completed randomised clinical trial investigating exercise for memory rehabilitation in epilepsy, aiming to determine whether changes in brain networks can explain cognitive improvement and help predict who will benefit from intervention.

  • Improving Seizure Localisation With MEG, High-Density EEG & AI - Dr. Christos Papadelis
    Apr 23 2026

    Can’t find where seizures start in drug-resistant epilepsy? Christos Papadelis, Ph.D, biomedical engineer and researcher, explains how ultra-high-resolution brain mapping and AI are improving seizure localisation and surgical decision-making in children. This episode explores how combining advanced neurophysiology with AI can identify seizure origins and networks, predict surgical outcomes, and move care beyond traditional limitations.
