The Annual Meeting is an international forum for the exchange of current findings in epilepsy research. Information is communicated and disseminated through symposia, lectures, scientific exhibitions, poster, and platform presentations. The Annual Meeting attracts attendees from all over the world and provides educational and networking opportunities for the academic and practicing neurologist, epileptologist, neurophysiologist, neuroscientist, neurosurgeon, internist, pediatrician, pharmacist, nurse, social worker, and other professionals. In 2014, the American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting was held on 5-9 December 2014 in Seattle (WA), USA. The following syllabus provides highlights from this meeting.Meeting Highlights: Translational Research: How reliable are the high-frequency oscillations and delayed responses as epileptogenicity biomarkers? A study based on intracranial stimulationInhibitory effect of Cys-Lt receptor antagonist pranlukast on MES and PTZ induced convulsionsAntecollis and levodopa-responsive parkinsonism are late features of Dravet syndromeNeurophysiology: Change in neurotransmitter gene expression correlated with EEG stages during lithium/pilocarpine-induced experimental status epilepticusSpike-Wave discharges versus seizures after fluid percussion injury in sprague-dawley ratsClinical Epilepsy: Refractory partial seizures as manifestation of polymerase gamma (PoLG) mutation in pediatric patientsProlonged propofol infusion in pregnant women with refractory status epilepticsComorbidity (somatic &amp; psychiatry): Analgesic opioid use in a health insured epilepsy population during 2012Association between depressive symptoms and seizure response among subjects with refractory partial-onset seizures in clinical trials of eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL)Antiepileptic drugs: Ceftriaxone treatment in a rat post traumatic epilepsy model preserves cortical inhibitory interneuron function and parvalbumin expressionMifepristone treatment (MF) post-status epilepticus normalizes basal corticosterone levels, decreases the loss of hilar mossy cells and reduces hilar BrdU+ cells in miceNon-antiepileptic drugs &amp; non-surgical treatment of epilepsy: Efficacy of Ketogenic Diet: An Experience at King Fahd Specialist Hospital-Dammam (KFSHD)Outpatient Education Reduces Emergency Room Use by Epilepsy PatientsSurgery: To Coordinate or Not to Coordinate?What’s in a Year?
