OVERVIEW

Canadian League Against Epilepsy (CLAE) 2021 Virtual Scientific Meeting is organized by Canadian League Against Epilepsy (CLAE) and will be held from Sep 24 - 26, 2021.

Who Should Attend?
Whether you are an academic or practicing neuropsychologist, neurologist, neurophysiologist, epileptologist, neuroscientist, neurosurgeon, child neurologist, epilepsy or EEG fellow, neurology or neurosurgery resident, graduate student, nurse, social worker or other professional or researcher in epilepsy care or a trainee, this will be an outstanding opportunity to meet fellow Canadians interested in the field of epilepsy and to find out about the newest epilepsy treatments and discoveries.

Description:
The CLAE Scientific Meeting brings together participants from across Canada and abroad. It provides an opportunity to network with colleagues and exchange ideas while gaining up-to-date knowledge on emerging basic and clinical research developments in epilepsy and key management issues in the field.

Learning Objectives:
• Appreciate the need for new precision therapies for epilepsy to address more than just seizures.
• Assess current standards in the care of women with epilepsy and review the best evidence-based counselling for fertility and seizure control in pregnancy.
• Identify the clinical semiology and electrographic subtypes of seizures involving the cingulate gyrus, understand intracranial electrode implantation schemes for pre surgical work-up of suspected cingulate epilepsies, and discuss seizure outcome and complications after cingulate epilepsy surgery.
• Describe a number of growing areas of interest in epilepsy including: autoimmune-associated epilepsy, interictal epileptiform discharges as biomarkers of epilepsy, developmental epileptic encephalopathies, closed loop stimulation epilepsy surgery, epilepsy in neurocutaneous syndromes, sleep in epilepsy, and cannabinoid actions and interactions.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
