DESCRIPTION:The 2022-2023 Neuro Epilepsy Lecture Series will include eight 
 lectures covering hot topics in basic and clinical epilepsy research. Spea
 kers will include distinguished leaders and rising stars\, with the goal o
 f bridging basic research and clinical perspectives.\n\n\nTo register\n\nT

 nding importance for brain function. It is implicated in regulating neurog
 enesis\, neuronal plasticity\, long-term synaptic plasticity\, and memory 
 and may well contribute to the still not well understood pathomechanisms t
 urning a structurally normal or abnormal brain into a condition able to el
 icit recurrent seizure activity. At the interface with genetics and enviro
 nmental factors epigenetics is considered to contribute to the pathobiolog
 y of epilepsy and its co-morbidities. Beyond its gene regulatory function\
 , epigenetics is also part of the molecular memory of any given cell. In t
 his talk\, I will discuss aberrant epigenetic changes as molecular pathome
 chanism in epilepsy and will show how we can use epigenetic signatures as 
 diagnostic and predictive biomarker in epilepsy. Further\, provided the gr
 owing awareness for aberrant epigenomics in epileptogenesis\, there are al
 so new perspectives for epigenetic medicine as novel therapeutic strategy 
 in difficult-to-treat epilepsies\, which will also be briefly discussed.\n
