About this episode

Dr. Laurie Miller discusses the causes of memory problems in epilepsy and potential strategies for improvement.

Memory problems are one of the most common and frustrating symptoms experienced by people with an epilepsy - but what actually causes them? And how can we "treat" them? Dr. Laurie Miller explains how different types of memory work, why memory difficulties are often linked to the underlying brain pathology rather than just seizures, and what evidence-based strategies and techniquest may help improve everyday functioning. 👕 Join the Epilepsy Sparks community with our merch 👇🏻 https://epilepsy-sparks.creator-spring.com 🌐 More Epilepsy Sparks Insights 👇🏻 https://www.epilepsysparks.com/epilepsy-sparks-insights 🎧 Listen to the Epilepsy Sparks Insights podcast on Apple, Spotify, or your favourite provider! 🔤 Don’t understand all the terms used?
