With US science in unprecedented turmoil, can Europe step up to become the free world's science superpower? We crunched the data on Europe's strengths and weaknesses, plans & what headwinds the bloc faces 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hot off the press, a cool perspective from Chen Wang about finding fulfillment in science projects that broadly benefit the research community.

🤩 Do you routinely analyze SEEG data ⚡️⚡️⚡️ of focal #epilepsy patients? Ever seen the pattern below and didn’t know what it was? We identified recurrent rhythmic LVFA clusters that last minutes as novel diagnostic biomarker in MOGHE 🧠, distinguishing it from mMCD & FCD2. Tell us what you think 😊

🚨 New preprint out: A novel diagnostic intracranial EEG biomarker in MOGHE www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6.... Great multi-center interdisciplinary study with clinical impact. #epilepsy #raredisease @ilae-epilepsy.bsky.social

Thrilled to shared our new preprint with @djabaudon.bsky.social ! Led by Ilaria Morassut, we explored "the extent to which early brain maturation requires interactions with the outside world". This wouldn't have been possible without our incredible collaborators, specially the @lanevol.bsky.social 🧵

Great work led by Erica Cecchini and Lucas Hoffmann. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Y chromosomes in the female brain? Not a mistake. Microchimerism can leave a lasting cellular legacy from a male twin, a previous male pregnancy, or other sources of genetically distinct cells. But what is the clinical consequence?

Glycan Atlassing is online at @natnano.nature.com! Thanks to everyone involved, especially to @dijo-mj.bsky.social and @nazlicanyurekli.bsky.social who spearheaded the work. Read the paper here: dlvr.it/TSXNDb #Glycotime

Seizures often target the areas of the brain responsible for forming new memories, making daily life with #epilepsy feel like a constant game of catch-up. Do you use specific hacks/routines to help your #memory stay sharp? #EpilepsyAwareness

So many children could benefit from #epilepsysurgery - but only 0.5% are referred! Epileptologist Dr. Juan Perez 🤩🇨🇴 explains how lack of knowledge of neurologists - is leading to fewer referrals! Watch👇! 🎬 youtu.be/soYzQgbOdt4 This episode is presented in partnership with EASEE®, by Precisis GmbH.

“We have to protect one area of the brain & remove another.” - Dr. Ricardo Morcos 🤩 🇬🇧! A hopeful, very educational chat about the epilepsy surgery journey 🔪🧠 - clear, empowering, & informative! Watch the full episode here! 👇 youtu.be/QzIoLlRG1Lw #epilepsysurgery #epilepsy #neurosurgery

Surprising twist in #epilepsy genetics 👀 Our new preprint shows that many MOGHE brains - even in females - carry extra Y-chromosome material, restricted to the lesion! Could sex-chromosome mosaicism be a driver of this epileptogenic malformation? 🧬 Read more: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Fantastic place for science.

Is epilepsy aging in fast-forward? 🧠⏳ Our latest study found that the epileptic brain shows signs of accelerated biological aging, more so than blood. Aging+Epilepsy-related signatures appeared even before seizures began. Food for thought regarding seizure risk predictability & treatment innovations

A reminder that the PhD program for EMBL is open for winter recruitment round. If you want to understand life at a molecular level and have a quantitative science (you don't have to have done biology - we love our mathematicians/physcists/chemists!) apply www.embl.org/about/info/e...

Did you know that people with #epilepsy have a significantly reduced life expectancy and an increased burden of age-related comorbidities? Our new study „Time flies faster in epilepsy“ lnkd.in/d28QCtMS looks into how biological aging contributes to the disease.

New preprint from the lab: „Time flies faster in epilepsy“ now available on Research Gate www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7.... Great collaboration with Sarah Weckhuysen, Premysl Jiruska, Johannes Lemke and many more.
