DESCRIPTION:\nThe Neuro Epilepsy Day is a half-day event. The day will focu
 s on neurodegeration and tauopathy in epilepsy\, and its implications for 
 cognition and disease progression.\n\n\nRegister Here\n\nWatch online here
 . No registration required.\n\n\nThe Pierre Gloor lecture honours the life
  and legacy of Pierre Gloor (1923-2003) who joined 91社区's Montreal Neuro
 logical Institute in 1952 as a fellow in electroencephalography and neurop
 hysiology. He studied with Wilder Penfield and Herbert Jasper\, eventually
  receiving his Ph.D. from 91社区 in 1957. Pierre Gloor worked closely with
  the clinical and research teams at the Montreal Neurological Institute in
  the treatment of epilepsy. His work in understanding and treating this di
 sorder earned him a worldwide reputation.\n\n\n\n	\n		Programme\n		Speakers\n		Lo

  Thom\n\n		Bio\n\n		I am an academic neuropathologist working at the UCL Queen
  Square Institute of Neurology\, London and have a research interest in ep
 ilepsy in addition to providing a clinical diagnostic service. I have set 
 up an epilepsy brain and tissue bank at UCL supported by the Epilepsy Soci
 ety\, which facilitates the archiving and use of human tissue samples for 
 varied research projects across several centres. My personal research in r
 ecent years has focused on neurodegenerative cellular mechanisms in epilep
 sy and correlations with MRI\, supported by the Wellcome Trust. Other stud
 ies focus on the Neuropathology findings in sudden and unexpected death in
  epilepsy and pathogenesis of focal surgical pathologies including hippoca
 mpal sclerosis and focal cortical dysplasia. I contribute regularly to Eur
 o CNS and ILAE neuropathology teaching courses on epilepsy pathology over 
 the last decade and have been a member of the ILAE diagnostic commission t
 ask forces . I am an author of several book chapters in this field\, inclu
 ding the 2024 10th edition of Greenfields Neuropathology and I am executiv
 e editor for the journal Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology for epile
 psy.\n\n		Abstract\n\n		Cognitive decline in older adults with epilepsy repres
 ents a significant co-morbidity and people with epilepsy are also more at 
 risk for developing dementia. In addition to hippocampal damage\, progress
 ive cortical atrophy is a prominent finding on MRI\, especially in drug-re
 sistant focal epilepsy and the ENIGMA-epilepsy consortium demonstrated com
 mon patterns of cortical atrophy in focal epilepsies. However\, the patter
 n of atrophy in epilepsy differs from that seen in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease (AD
 ) or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and the precise neuropathology
  correlates are uncertain.\n\n		In tissue samples from patients operated for
  drug refractory epilepsy as well as post-mortem series we have been explo
 ring the evidence and prevalence of neurodegenerative pathology including 
 tauopathy\, as AD and CTE\, small vessel disease and cortical atrophy. Thi
 s has been correlated with neuroimaging parameters and neuropsychology pro
 files in an aim to predict neuropathology biomarkers that could be relevan
 t to any memory decline in epilepsy.\n\n		Matthias Koepp\n\n		Bio\n\n		TBD\n\n		Ab
 stract\n\n		TBD\n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		Location\n\n		The Montreal Neurological Institute a
 nd Hospital is at 3801 University Street\, north of Pine Avenue West\, on 
 the 91社区 campus opposite the former Royal Victoria Hospital.
 \n\n		Montreal is served by highway Routes 10\, 15\, 20 and 40\, and by Grey
 hound Bus\, Via Rail and the P-E-Trudeau airport. In the city\, bus and me
 tro service is provided by the Soci茅t茅 de transport de Montr茅al (STM).\n\n
 		Wheelchair access\n\n		A wheelchair accessible entrance is on University Str
 eet north of the main entrance. Another wheelchair accessible entrance is 
 in the loading area behind the building: to enter the loading area\, turn 
 into the driveway south of the main entrance. Please note\, there is no pa
 rking in the loading area.\n\n		Parking\n\n		Parking near the MNI is sometimes
  difficult. There are parking meters on University Street and a parking lo
 t north of the main entrance. To enter the lot\, turn right into the drive
 way toward Molson Stadium.\n\n		Information about parking fees\n\n		Taxi Stand
 \n\n		There is a taxi stand on University Street across from the main entran
 ce. You may call a cab from the free taxi phone in the main lobby near the
  Security Desk.\n\n		Access by Public Transportation聽(STM website)\n\n		Bus\n
 \n		There are four bus stops within walking distance:\n\n		\n			Bus 144 stops at 
 Pine Avenue and University Street\n			Bus 356 stops at Sherbrooke Street and 
 University Street (Nightbus)\n			Bus 107 stops at Pine Avenue and Docteur Pen
 field\n			Bus 24 stops at Sherbrooke Street and University Street\n		\n\n		Metro
 \n\n		Take the Metro Green Line to the 91社区 station. Walk north on Univers
 ity Street and cross Pine Avenue. The main entrance is on the right\, past
  the flags.\n\n		Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre\n\n		\n			Enter the main lobby\, tur
 n left\, and go down the hallway to the end.\n			Turn right and go down the s
 econd hallway until you see another hallway on the left.\n			This hallway lea
 ds to the Jeanne Timmins Foyer.\n			On your聽right聽are the Jeanne Timmins Amph
 itheatre entrance doors.\n		\n	\n\n	\n		Call for Posters聽\n\n		Sharing Science and
  Knowledge\n\n		Trainees at the undergraduate\, graduate\, and postdoctoral 
 level are invited to present their work as posters. Abstracts will also be
  considered for an oral presentation.聽\n\n		The scientific presentations are
  intended to ignite discussion\, collaboration\, and connection among the 
 Montreal epilepsy community. We encourage you to share your most current p
 roject in any stage of development\, research questions\, and pilot projec
 ts.聽\n\n		The deadline for submission is April 25\, 2025.\n\n		Submit Abstract
