Investigación

Much of the research in the Division of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology is conducted in the Developmental Neurophysiology Laboratory or the Center for Research in Pediatric Epilepsy.

Children's has an active program for evaluating new antiepileptic drugs and typically has two or three studies ongoing at any time. Our Clinical Neuropharmacology Program is currently studying the following anticonvulsants:

Levetiracetam
Topiramate ? for specific indications

Neurodynamics Laboratory

During the one to two weeks patients spend in the long-term monitoring unit, a wealth of data is collected to determine the best course of action for that patient. But much of that data can also be used to help future patients through research. En el Neurodynamics Laboratory, headed by Dr. Joseph Madsen, researchers use data from long-term monitoring to devise better ways of mapping functional areas in the brain. Results of this research could improve the accuracy and safety of focal resection surgery in the future, as well as improve the outlook for patients who suffer strokes, tumors and brain injuries.

Data from long-term monitoring is also helping researchers learn to predict which patients will benefit from vagal nerve stimulation and which are unlikely to see much improvement.
