A new UK television series started last night. The series follows the work of The Walton Centre. The Walton Centre is a specialist UK hospital that treats people with long-term brain conditions, like epilepsy.
The first programme is about three young people. One of them is having deep brain stimulation for epilepsy.
Two recent studies were presented at the American Epilepsy Society 66th Annual Meeting in San Diego, US. Both have shown developments in using ‘laser ablation’ surgery to treating epilepsy.
A recent study has shown that surgery for children with epilepsy can completely remove the need for epilepsy medicines. Around 40 per cent of people with epilepsy develop it before the age of 15.

Thanks to Jo who runs our online community for pointing out a TV documentary about brain surgery that was shown on British TV last night. Luckily, for those of us who missed it, will be shown again tonight (Thursday 21st) and is available on the BBC iPlayer.
