27: Short, Sudden, Strange, Similar Spells

Welcome to the NeurologyLive Mind Moments podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. In this episode, we're joined by Jacqueline French, MD, director, Translational Research and Clinical Trials in Epilepsy, NYU Grossman School of Medicine. She discussed recently published data from part of the Human Epilepsy Project that suggests the delay in identifying nonvoter seizures can result in injury for the individuals experiencing them, and that earlier identification may prevent this issue.
