It was such a joy to work on this with Christine, Ria and Jenny! And thank you to Jenny for giving me the opportunity to follow my curiosity on this topic, from sex differences in physiology to the impact of language socialisation, menstrual stigma and body objectification! 💃

Can epilepsy surgery halt - or even reverse - cognitive decline in children? 🧠👶 To answer this, we studied long-term neuropsychological trajectories before and after epilepsy surgery. Honoured to have this published in @Brain1878 🔗 tinyurl.com/2s3wu9u6 🧵Main findings:
Long-term neuropsychological trajectories in children with epilepsy: does surgery halt decline?

Long-term neuropsychological trajectories in children with epilepsy: does surgery halt decline?

In a retrospective cohort study, Eriksson et al. examined neuropsychological trajectories in children who underwent surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy. In

Absolutely delighted to have this paper out in @EpilepsiaJourn! 🌟 Predicting seizure outcome after #epilepsy surgery remains challenging. We investigated if... 1. more complex models 🤖 2. larger samples 👥 3. better data 📊 ... would help. 🧵👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
