We have initiated 13 new research projects, adding to 20 active projects spanning the clinical, educational and social elements of paediatric epilepsy. We have published 110 peer-reviewed items of primary research and a further 54 chapters in books, reviews and commentaries of expert opinion. During this period, Young Epilepsy Chief Executive Carol Long caught the research bug and moved on to begin her PhD at Durham University. We welcomed our new Chief Executive, Mark Devlin at our Paediatric Epilepsy Research Retreat in January 2019. As an organisation, we are launching a new strategy This report features a spotlight on a truly which sets our research programme as one of innovative project which will change the UK’s the four key offers at Young Epilepsy, and we diagnostic and surgical evaluation imaging suite look forward to sharing our research more widely for childhood epilepsy.

The MNI has now been extant for 8 years and during that time it has unwaveringly served to promote the Neurosciences and related disciplines at the University of Melbourne. This report serves to demonstrate both the current strength of Neuroscience research on campus and the role that MNI has played in fostering many of these activities. The spectrum of Neuroscience research conducted at this University is impressive and what is presented in this report is an important but, by necessity, a small proportion of the exciting work that is being conducted. What is very apparent is that much of the work relies on strong collaborative interactions and often those collaborative interactions span several faculties. I am particularly pleased to see this, reflecting that the promotion of Our international interface continues to strengthen. This is most interdisciplinarity that has been one of the key goals of MNI, apparent through our strong links with the Salpetriere in Paris and an outcome that we have been able to facilitate via our with the Hotchkiss Brain Institute in Calgary.

  • Classification of the Epilepsies and to Solicit Tion Framework Proves Incompatible with New Findings, We Comments and Criticism from Readers
    SPECIAL REPORT Classification of the epilepsies: New concepts for discussion and debate—Special report of the ILAE Classification Task Force of the Commission for Classification and Terminology1 *†‡Ingrid E. Scheffer, §Jacqueline French, ¶#Edouard Hirsch, **Satish Jain, ††Gary W. Mathern, ‡‡Solomon L Moshe, §§Emilio Perucca, ¶¶Torbjorn Tomson, ##Samuel Wiebe, ***Yue-Hua Zhang, and †††‡‡‡Sameer M. Zuberi Epilepsia Open, 1(1):37–44, 2016 doi: 10.1002/epi4.5 SUMMARY The ILAE Task Force on Classification presents a road map for the development of an updated, relevant classification of the epilepsies. Our objective is to explain the pro- cess to date and the plan moving forward as well as to invite further discussion about the newly proposed terms and concepts. Here, we present our response to feedback about the 2010 Organization of the Epilepsies and clarify the reintroduction of the word “classification” to map out a framework for epilepsy diagnosis. We introduce some new concepts and suggest four diagnostic levels: seizure type, epilepsy category, epilepsy syndrome, and epilepsy with (specific) etiology to denote specific levels of diagnosis. We expand the etiological categories to six, focusing on those with treat- ment implications. Finally, we discuss the changes in terminology originally suggested Prof Ingrid Scheffer and modifications in response to comments from the epilepsy community. We wel- chairs the ILAE Task come feedback and discussion from the global epilepsy community, particularly for the Force on the new suggested terms, so that we can cement a classification that both reflects current Classification of the thinking and scientific understanding and provides a dynamic, evolving framework.

We are an independent, interdisciplinary body of 425 Fellows – elected by their peers for their distinguished achievements and exceptional contributions to health and medical science in Australia. Collectively, they are a representative and independent voice, through which we engage with the community, industry and governments. The Academy is uniquely positioned to convene cross-sector stakeholders from across Australia to address the most pressing health challenges facing society. We focus on the development of future generations of health and medical researchers, on providing independent advice to government and others on issues relating to evidence based medical practice and medical researchers, and on providing a forum for discussion on progress in medical research with an emphasis on translation of research into practice. The Academy is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and in endorsed as a deductible gift recipient. www.aahms.org @MedSciAcademy @AAHMS_Health Welcome to Life as a Clinician-Scientist Today we welcome you to showcase Life as a Clinician-Scientist. Our speakers will share their unique journeys that have led to a rich and rewarding career, filled with challenge and discovery. Why consider life as a clinician-scientist? Clinician-scientists have a unique and irreplaceable set of skills, enabling them to marry key clinical questions with insights into human biology. Medicine integrated with science allows you to take clinical observations and curiosities from the bedside, to answer deeper scientific questions, and translate these to have far reaching impact on improving patients’ lives.

  • Perception, Imagination and Change
    Epilepsy Perception, imagination and change Medical History Museum, University of Melbourne Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, affecting one in 26 people during their lifetime. Despite its prevalence, epilepsy has long been misunderstood, immersed in superstition, fear and prejudice. In the 19th century neurologists began to understand the causes Epilepsy of the disorder, although misleading terms such as ‘the dreamy state’, ‘psychic seizures’ Perception, imagination and change and ‘double consciousness’ prevailed. Even today, fear and misinformation affect the daily lives of many people with this condition. Epilepsy: Perception, imagination and change explores different cultural and historical perspectives on epilepsy, and includes accounts from scientists and physicians whose discoveries are improving the quality of lives of people with epilepsy. Both the book and the exhibition held at the University of Melbourne’s Medical Edited by History Museum in 2014 embrace research Jim Chambliss, Mark Cook and Jacqueline Healy undertaken by Dr Jim Chambliss in collaboration with artists who have epilepsy. Many of their works are reproduced here, accompanied by their own descriptions of their art and its place in their lives. This book increases our understanding and awareness of epilepsy. The history affects our perceptions of the condition, the artwork shows the power of the artists’ imaginations, and the innovative work of leading researchers points to the changes ahead.
