Research Activities

Epilepsies are diseases of brain networks. These abnormalities might be responsible for epileptic seizure characteristics as well as the comorbidities often presented by individuals with epilepsies. Moreover, abnormal brain networks could disrupt the normal neurodevelopment at early ages.



We aim to better characterize structural and functional brain networks in children with epilepsies. The understanding of abnormal brain networks in epilepsies might lead to the improvement of the health care provided for children with epilepsies.
