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 celebrates the l
 ife and legacy of Pierre Gloor (1923–2003)\, who joined The Neuro (Montrea
 l Neurological Institute-Hospital) in 1952 as a fellow in electroencephalo
 graphy and neurophysiology. He trained under Wilder Penfield and Herbert J
 asper and earned his Ph.D. from ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University in 1957. Gloor collabora
 ted closely with clinical and research teams at The Neuro in advancing the
  understanding and treatment of epilepsy\, gaining international recogniti
 on for his contributions to the field\n\n\n\n	\n		Programme\n		Speakers\n		Locati

 ia Thom is an academic neuropathologist based at the UCL Queen Square Inst
 itute of Neurology in London. She combines her clinical diagnostic work wi
 th a strong research focus on epilepsy. She established an epilepsy brain 
 and tissue bank at UCL\, supported by the Epilepsy Society\, to facilitate
  the archiving and use of human tissue samples for research across multipl
 e centres. Her recent research has explored neurodegenerative cellular mec
 hanisms in epilepsy and their correlation with MRI findings\, with support
  from the Wellcome Trust. She also investigates neuropathological findings
  in cases of sudden and unexpected death in epilepsy\, as well as the path
 ogenesis of focal surgical pathologies such as hippocampal sclerosis and f
 ocal cortical dysplasia. Over the past decade\, Dr. Thom has contributed r
 egularly to Euro-CNS and ILAE neuropathology teaching courses and has serv
 ed on diagnostic commission task forces for the ILAE. She is the author of
  several book chapters in this field\, including the 2024 10th edition of 
 Greenfield’s Neuropathology\, and serves as executive editor for Neuropath
 ology and Applied Neurobiology in the area of epilepsy.\n\n		Abstract: Cogni
 tive decline in older adults with epilepsy represents a significant co-mor
 bidity and people with epilepsy are also more at risk for developing demen
 tia. In addition to hippocampal damage\, progressive cortical atrophy is a
  prominent finding on MRI\, especially in drug-resistant focal epilepsy an
 d the ENIGMA-epilepsy consortium demonstrated common patterns of cortical 
 atrophy in focal epilepsies. However\, the pattern of atrophy in epilepsy 
 differs from that seen in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or chronic traumatic en
 cephalopathy (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 exploring the evidence and pre
 valence of neurodegenerative pathology including tauopathy\, as AD and CTE
 \, small vessel disease and cortical atrophy. This has been correlated wit
 h neuroimaging parameters and neuropsychology profiles in an aim to predic
 t neuropathology biomarkers that could be relevant to any memory decline i
 n epilepsy.\n\n		Matthias Koepp\n\n		Matthias Koepp is a Professor of Neurolog
 y at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and a Consultant Neurolog
 ist at the National Hospital for Neurology in London. After earning his MD
  in Berlin in 1991\, he moved to London to complete a PhD focused on neuro
 imaging in epilepsy under the mentorship of John Duncan. His clinical prac
 tice serves over 2\,000 people annually\, alongside a research program inv
 estigating mechanisms of comorbidities in epilepsy to predict cognitive\, 
 mood\, and seizure outcomes after treatment. He currently co-leads the fir
 st anti-epileptogenesis trial in post-stroke epilepsy and a Wellcome Trust
 -funded study on dementia in epilepsy. His work has earned multiple intern
 ational awards\, including the Michael Prize\, the ILAE Ambassador for Epi
 lepsy Award\, and the 2023 AES Clinical Science Recognition Award.\n\n		\n	\n
 \n	\n		Location\n\n		The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital is at 380
 1 University Street\, north of Pine Avenue West\, on the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University
  campus opposite the former Royal Victoria Hospital.\n\n		Montreal is served
  by highway Routes 10\, 15\, 20 and 40\, and by Greyhound Bus\, Via Rail a
 nd the P-E-Trudeau airport. In the city\, bus and metro service is provide
 d by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM).\n\n		Wheelchair access\n\n		A
  wheelchair accessible entrance is on University Street north of the main 
 entrance. Another wheelchair accessible entrance is in the loading area be
 hind the building: to enter the loading area\, turn into the driveway sout
 h of the main entrance. Please note\, there is no parking in the loading a
 rea.\n\n		Parking\n\n		Parking near the MNI is sometimes difficult. There are 
 parking meters on University Street and a parking lot north of the main en
 trance. To enter the lot\, turn right into the driveway toward Molson Stad
 ium.\n\n		Information about parking fees\n\n		Taxi Stand\n\n		There is a taxi st
 and on University Street across from the main entrance. You may call a cab
  from the free taxi phone in the main lobby near the Security Desk.\n\n		Acc
 ess by Public Transportation (STM website)\n\n		Bus\n\n		There are four bus st
 ops within walking distance:\n\n		\n			Bus 144 stops at Pine Avenue and Univers
 ity Street\n			Bus 356 stops at Sherbrooke Street and University Street (Nigh
 tbus)\n			Bus 107 stops at Pine Avenue and Docteur Penfield\n			Bus 24 stops at 
 Sherbrooke Street and University Street\n		\n\n		Metro\n\n		Take the Metro Green
  Line to the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ station. Walk north on University Street and cross Pin
 e Avenue. The main entrance is on the right\, past the flags.\n\n		Jeanne Ti
 mmins Amphitheatre\n\n		\n			Enter the main lobby\, turn left\, and go down the
  hallway to the end.\n			Turn right and go down the second hallway until you 
 see another hallway on the left.\n			This hallway leads to the Jeanne Timmins
  Foyer.\n			On your right are the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre entrance doors.
