OVERVIEW:

This session uses animal models to understand post-traumatic epilepsy and presents new technologies and techniques found in the research.  

This workshop addresses what can be learned from clinically-relevant rodent and novel porcine animal models of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) and how new techniques and technologies can help to understand the process of epileptogenesis following TBI in humans. Early-career investigators participating in the CURE Epilepsy PTE Initiative present the latest findings, including novel insights on promising EEG, imaging, and circulating biomarkers for the prediction of PTE.

Learning Objectives:

Following participation in this activity, participants will be able to: 

  • Present new techniques, technologies and findings in PTE research, focusing on EEG, ECoG, molecular and other biomarkers of epileptogenesis in rodent and porcine animal models of TBI 
  • Discuss strengths and weaknesses of rodent verses porcine animal models and translation of these models to the clinic 
  • Discuss reproducibility of animal models and the value of using standardized and harmonized outcome measures 

Program:

Moderator: Lauren Harte-Hargrove, PhD 

Speakers: Federico Moro, PhD, Oleksii Shandra, MD, PhD, James J Gugger, MD, PharmD, and Kyle Lillis, PhD
