Introduction of 2024 ASEPA EEG Master Class

Welcome to the EEG Master Class on "EEG in Epileptic Encephalopathy: Genetics vs. Inflammation."

Epileptic encephalopathies represent a challenging spectrum of disorders characterized by epileptic activity associated with cognitive and behavioral impairments. Understanding the underlying mechanisms, particularly the interplay between genetics and inflammation, is crucial for effective management and treatment.

In this master class, we will delve into the intricate relationship between genetics and inflammation in epileptic encephalopathies, with a focus on how EEG (Electroencephalography) serves as a valuable tool for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment guidance.

By the end of this master class, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between genetics and inflammation in epileptic encephalopathies and how EEG can enhance our diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in clinical practice. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of epileptic encephalopathies and explore the promising avenues for improving patient outcomes.
