In collaborations between the Department of Neurology and the Neurocognitive Research Center , researchers have explored the cross-section of epilepsy and dementia. Studies focus on how —silent electrical spikes in the brain that do not cause visible seizures—accelerates cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease. This has opened up novel therapeutic pathways, examining whether anti-epileptic drugs can preserve memory in early-stage dementia patients.
They ordered the MRI. But the night before the scan, a senior neurologist—old Dr. Kovács, who was rumored to have trained in an era before CT scanners—happened to be on the ward. He asked to see Mrs. Gable’s chart.
The team has published pioneering work on the impact of artificial intelligence on enhancing stroke care efficiency, reducing the time from patient arrival to treatment.
