DESCRIPTION: \n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind Seminar presents: 'Epil
 epsy and cognition: an MRI perspective'\n\nSpeaker: Lorenzo Caciagli\n\nDe
 partment of BIoengineering\, University of Pennsylvania\, USA\n\nUCL Queen
  Square Institute of Neurology\, London \, UK \n\nAbstract: Epilepsy is a 
 common\, chronic\, and disabling neurological disorder that is frequently 
 accompanied by cognitive impairment. A growing body of literature is shedd
 ing light on the underlying neural processes\, but detailed knowledge of n
 etwork reorganization across the epilepsy spectrum remains sparse. In this
  talk\, I will present findings of MRI studies we conducted to investigate
  the neural correlates of cognitive impairment in epilepsy\, and to captur
 e commonalities and differences between epilepsy types. First\, I will dis
 cuss work focusing on the heritability of cognitive reorganization pattern
 s in idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Second\, I will present work that ch
 aracterized the disorganization of language and working memory systems in 
 frontal and temporal lobe epilepsy using a combination of regional\, netwo
 rk and functional-gradient based analyses. I will then discuss dynamic fun
 ctional connectivity work that identifies shared and unique network signat
 ures in the aforementioned epilepsy types\, and briefly outline an attempt
  towards clinical translation of multi-scale functional imaging findings.
 \n\nBio:  Dr. Lorenzo Caciagli\, MD\, PhD\, is a postdoctoral researcher a
 t the Department of Bioengineering\, University of Pennsylvania (Penn)\, P
 hiladelphia\, and Honorary Clinical Fellow\, UCL Queen Square Institute of
  Neurology\, London\, UK. He received an MD summa cum laude from the Unive
 rsity of Pisa and Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies\, and a PhD in Clin
 ical Neuroscience at UCL in 2019\, which he combined with clinical activit
 ies as a neurology resident. He has expertise in neuropsychology\, structu
 ral and functional MRI\, is faculty on British and International Epilepsy 
 Neuroimaging Courses\, and has been serving as member of the ILAE Neuroima
 ging Task Force since 2020.\n\n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) 
 Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\
 , Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly bridge the clin
 ical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and
  discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and neuroimagin
 g.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists from across The Neuro\, as well as 
 colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series
  is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to con
 tinue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis 
 and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.\n\n\nTo watch via Vimeo\,
