  • Our Research Goals

    This team focuses on understanding how brain structures that regulate sleep and wakefulness also influence seizure risk, while exploring new techniques to control seizures more effectively.

    Present projects are directed toward understanding the relationship between brain structures important for sleep and wakefulness, and how these same structures determine the chance of having seizures. We are also examining novel techniques to control seizures.
