Epilepsy Research
Epilepsy often begins in childhood and can cause shortened life span, the risk of intellectual impairment and a reduced quality of life; therefore, research is extremely important.
Current research includes studies of new medications, genetic factors and seizure behavior.
Researchers at Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSM) are studying the impact of epilepsy on attention, memory, learning and behavior in children, as well as the relationships between head injuries and seizures and between brain damage and the length, outcome and treatment of epilepsy.
Dr. Allison Brashear, chair, Neurology, was recognized for her leadership by the Winston-Salem YWCA, as one of 16 recipients of its 2010 Women of Vision Awards.
