Abstract
It is increasingly recognized that epilepsy affects human brain organization across multiple scales, ranging from cellular alterations in specific regions towards macroscale network imbalances. My talk will overview an emerging paradigm that integrates cellular, neuroimaging, and network modelling approaches to faithful characterize the extent of structural and functional alterations in the common epilepsies. I will also discuss how multiscale framework can help to derive clinically useful biomarkers of dysfunction, and how these methods may guide surgical planning and prognostics.
