A huge thank you to all our fire walkers who braved the hot coals for Purple Day!
It was a great afternoon, the weather even held out for us and you raised an amazing £4,285!

Whoa! Nice work

Nice tweeprint for @jamnor23's work on using machine learning to identify seizure onset zones from non-seizure data.
Exciting use of the quantitative information contained in clinically used electrical stimulation paradigms.

Thanks @ResearchNetERI DTC student Yaseen Almeerali for this article. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Will be helpful particularly in clarifying that genetic does not necessarily mean inherited
26 Mar 2024
Can a single switch from “A” to “T” in a gene regulating brain function result in epilepsy? Read this article by Yaseen Almeerali that explains how random genetic alterations can give rise to devastating disorders.

Basic is such a misnomer. Fundamental better? Interesting article by @ResearchNetERI DTC student James Hogg. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

An interesting read on how basic sciences research is crucial to find treatments for genetic disorders such as CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD), a rare form of epilepsy.

For years, Megan struggled with uncontrolled seizures. She died in 2022 from SUDEP. She was 25 and 17 weeks pregnant. Her family believe she was failed because she wasn’t given info – or choices – about medicines that might have kept her alive.

It's #PurpleDay, an opportunity for the epilepsy community to teach the world about epilepsy. So what's one thing you wish more people knew about epilepsy? 💜
