Epilepsy, what’s new?

Cinzia Cuneo 1 aprile, 2013 salute

What do you think of when you hear the word “epilepsy”? About one in 100 Canadians has epilepsy, yet this condition remains enigmatic. Much is now known about the causes of epilepsy and a diverse array of therapies is available. Much remains to be discovered.

If you want to know more about epilepsy, what therapies are available and how the lives of people with epilepsy can be improved, come listen to some of the leading epilepsy experts in Canada, including two neurologists, a neurosurgeon and a neuropsychologist.
