Can Epilepsy surgery improve or even reverse cognitive deficits in children with epilepsy?
Welcome to the 22nd episode of The Brain Podcast - the official podcast of the journals Brain and Brain Communications. This episode features a discussion with senior author Dr Torsten Baldeweg of the Brain article entitled: Long-term neuropsychological trajectories in children with epilepsy: does surgery halt decline? Dr Baldeweg discusses fascinating insight into the long term cognitive outcomes from an impressively large cohort of 500 children who had undergone epilepsy surgery and neuropsychological assessment at Great Ormond Street Hospital (1990–2018). Their findings suggest that there are long term cognitive benefits from epilepsy surgery by preventing firther seizures. This has important clinical implications on the importance of achieving seizure freedom for our patients and the role of surgery in this regard. The Brain podcast team is very happy to introduce a new co-host Dr Roberto Bellanti in this episode and to the team!

Anti-IgLon5 disease risk is mediated by HLA-DQB1*05 subtypes: when neuroimmunology meets neurodegeneration
Welcome to the 21th episode of The Brain Podcast - the official podcast of the journals Brain and Brain Communications. This episode features a discussion with the first author Dr Selina Yogeshwar of the Brain article entitled: HLA-DQB1*05 subtypes and not DRB1*10:01 mediates risk in anti-IgLON5 disease Dr Yogeshwar offers exciting insight into the genetic mechanisms of a relatively recently discovered disease anti-IgLON5. She also discusses foundational information into how neuroimmunology, neurogenetics and neurodegeneration intersect in this fascinating condition. This exciting episode is not to be missed!
