This is a series of audio podcasts in which I have the pleasure of having a brief conversation with thought leaders and newsmakers in the field of epilepsy on a range of seizure related topics. The series is intended as a second opinion to help clinicians understand the latest research as explained by the investigator or perhaps focus on a clinical issue with the help of a leading epilepsy authority on the topic. The purpose is to frame the latest epilepsy news in the right context so as to better manage patients with seizures and improve quality of life. I hope that you find the series informative and helpful and that you join me in listening on a weekly basis.
Dr. Joseph Sirven, Editor-in-Chief
