Despite ongoing efforts and advancements in research and therapy, many persons with epilepsy remain drug-resistant. Understanding the underlying etiology of epilepsy, whether structural, genetic, infectious, metabolic, immunological or (now) unknown, is critical because it offers crucial information regarding the clinical course. Phenotype, cognitive comorbidities, (new) pharmacological targets, and postsurgical outcomes are all factors to consider. The use of a multimodal strategy, which includes digital slides and multichannel immunofluorescence labeling, can help to improve the results. DNA methylation arrays may aid in the identification of difficult-to-classify lesions, and diagnostic yield of subtle diseases. However, in low-income nations, such approaches are not always available. Even without access to pricey molecular techniques, Latin American researchers can construct autom.. Read More»
