Johns Hopkins Epilepsy Center

Are you interested in the global landscape of technologies for epilepsy care? Check out "Global Health: Implementing Technological Innovations in Lower- & Middle-Income Countries" session at #AES2025. Dr Gregory Krauss will give a talk titled Wearables in Epilepsy Care in LMICs.

It is Day 3 of the conference, and we are still going strong! Don’t forget to join these sessions with our experts. #AES2025

We hope you are enjoying #AES2025. Our neurologists will participate in several sessions during the annual meeting.

Many of our experts will participate in engaging sessions during #AES2025. Make sure to check out some of these presentations!

New epilepsy tool—EpiScalp—may represent a paradigm shift in epilepsy care by providing an accurate diagnostic aid from a single initial EEG recording, even in more challenging cases. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… @UPMCPhysicianEd @HubJHU @HopkinsNsurg @PittHealthSci

Trigger warning! Managing and detecting status epilepticus in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome comes down to unmasking potential triggers. Hear Dr. Babitha Haridas discuss her recent study in this 3-min video filmed at AES 2024 neurologylive.com/view/unmasking…

A new study in @SeizureJournal validating the continued use of a modified #Atkins diet (#MAD) for seizure management in adults with generalized #epilepsy & highlights potential mechanisms of clinical response involving lipoprotein & energy metabolism tinyurl.com/ymfjs9pk

Great work from Drs. Crone and Krauss!

Are you a neurology or neurosurgery resident interested in epilepsy? Check out this upcoming course. You will not want to miss it! More info here: aesnet.org/AES-annual-mee… @AANSNeuro @CNS_Update @AmEpilepsySoc #neurosurgery #assfn #medtwitter

We’re starting the new academic year with new leadership. We’re excited to announce that Nathan Crone, Professor of Neurology, is now the epilepsy center’s director. He follows Dr. Greg Bergey who is retiring in September.

Our study shows the efficacy of a tonic-clonic seizure detection algorithm running on @AppleWatch. Notably, the false alarm rate was 0.1/day with 100% detection rate in ambulatory patients. tinyurl.com/ms7e5rw @HopkinsEpilepsy @LeBonheurChild @EpilepsiaRuber @NeurologyMCW

Come to #OHBM2024 poster session this Thursday / Friday to learn about common brain circuits involved in seizure reduction in BOTH ablative and neuromodulatory therapy! This is an exciting multi-site study across @PennNSG @HopkinsNsurg @BWHNeurology.

Congratulations to our graduating chiefs, Neurology Class of 2024! We are so proud of all of you & honored to have learned so much from you! We can’t wait to see what you all accomplish in the future! 🎉🎓🧠

While many people have turned to the modified Atkins diet to lose weight and lower carb intake for more than 20 years, it has also helped to treat epilepsy. A @HopkinsKids study examines the past, present and future of the diet. bit.ly/3V6PJVy

Infantile spasms occur in about one in 2,000 babies, according to @KossoffEric, director of the child neurology residency program. Learn more about treating infantile spasms and areas of focus for future research ➡️ bit.ly/3T8Tdop #childrenshealth
