[CBIAnnounce] CBI seminar TODAY @ 3 pm, 815 Meyer

[Swetha Shankar]

Hi everybody,

Please join us today to hear Heath Pardoe talk about

*Candidate imaging-based markers of health outcomes in newly diagnosed
focal epilepsy*

Date: Today, July 7
Time: 3 pm
Place: 815 Meyer

----------------------------------------------

Abstract:

Approximately 30% of patients with focal epilepsy will continue to have
seizures despite treatment with antiepileptic medications. Much of the
clinical work in epilepsy focuses on managing this intractable group, and
yet in spite of many advances in diagnosis and treatment there are very few
biomarkers available to clinicians at diagnosis that can predict who will
fall in the intractable group. The Human Epilepsy Project is a multi-center
imaging study (n = 500 patients) designed to determine the factors that
predict poor response to treatment. Participants are imaged longitudinally
at diagnosis and at 3 years following diagnosis. In this talk I will
present preliminary findings from this cohort, including estimation of
'brain age' using machine-learning based analysis of whole brain
T1-weighted MRI, and network connectivity abnormalities derived from
resting state fMRI.
