Dr. H. Westley Phillips co-led groundbreaking research on analyzing DNA from stereo-EEG electrodes, revealing mosaic epilepsy variants. This innovative technique helps diagnose drug-resistant epilepsy using previously discarded tissue samples. Learn more: academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…
D’Gama et al. report that minimally invasive genetic testing using sEEG electrodes detects brain-specific mosaic variants in focal epilepsy, offering promise for precision diagnostics and treatment. Please read at: buff.ly/J8KgnX4

#TBT Dr. E. Latunde Odeku, the 1st African-American neurosurgeon trained in the U.S., broke barriers at Howard & Michigan before returning to Nigeria in 1961. There, he revolutionized neurosurgical care & mentored future leaders. A true global pioneer. 🌍 🧠 #ASBNHistory #ASBNorg
Very proud of these ladies for representing the PRIME Lab at the 2024 American Epilepsy Society Meeting in LA! Danielle (UCD Senior, AES BRIDGE intern) presented her summer work. @JulieUchitel & @SarahJRockwood (Stanford Med) presented some of our clinical projects. Way to go 🎉
#EpilepsyAwarenessMonth: Corpus callosotomy is an important treatment for atonic seizures in drug resistant epilepsy. Corpus Callosotomy Ablation (CCA) via MR-guided stereotactic laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is an emerging minimally invasive treatment option.
November is Epilepsy Awareness Month. Dr. H. Westley Phillips, pediatric neurosurgeon at @StanfordChild, specializes in epilepsy surgery and leads research on epilepsy genetics. Inspired by children’s resiliency, he views neurosurgery as a team sport with kids as star players.
Continuing #EpilepsyAwarenessMonth we focus on a study from Dr. Westley Phillips and the @prime_lab that looks at the correlation between the electrophysiologic and genetic signatures of epilepsy. It was found that regions with higher mutation burden were more epileptogenic.
