In March 2007, leading scientists, health care providers, and leaders of voluntary health organizations will come together to discuss potential targets and technologies for new therapies, with the goal of moving the field toward a cure. Session topics will include: - Genetics - Epileptogenesis - Co-morbidities - Imaging/technology This conference is being sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in collaboration with AES, CDCP, CURE, EF, FACES, ILAE, Milken Foundation, PACE, NAEC and TSA.
