Our team of neurologists, molecular geneticists, physiologists and brain imaging specialists and leads the world in the discovery of the genetic causes of epilepsy. Through this work we will identify genes underlying epilepsy and study how genetic variations result in the development of seizures. Advanced brain imaging will be used to understand the effects of genetic variation on brain structure and function. This study may lead to new diagnostic methods and treatments for epilepsy.

我们的团队由神经学家、分子遗传学家、生理学家和脑成像专家组成，在癫痫遗传原因的发现方面处于世界领先地位。通过这项工作，我们将识别癫痫的基因，并研究遗传变异如何导致癫痫发作。先进的大脑成像将用于了解遗传变异对大脑结构和功能的影响。这项研究可能会带来新的癫痫诊断方法和治疗方法。
