Epilepsy
Summary: Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy has numerous etiologies, some of which have yet to be fully elucidated. The presence of psychiatric and medical comorbidities often complicates the complex phenotypes of people with epilepsy. This Column will collect new evidence about the genetic and environmental etiological factors of epilepsy, new diagnosis strategies, new developments in management and treatment, as well as innovative insights on the neuropsychological and cognitive implications of epilepsy.

Stroke Research and Therapy
Summary: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the leading disability worldwide. One in four people over age 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime. Endovascular thrombectomy is the most effective reperfusion treatment in ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion, However, there are still unanswered questions in selecting eligible patients thrombectomy with significant inequality issues in accessing of stroke care. Although management of vascular risk factors remains extremely important in stroke prevention, the discoveries in stroke genetics would enable the identification of high-risk individuals before the emergence of vascular risk factors and potential new treatment targets. There are over 101 million stroke survivals globally. Person-centered, collaborative rehabilitation still awaits more studies, especially on post-stroke cognitive rehab. This Column will focus on stroke research and therapy.
