2025 Neuro Epilepsy Day and Pierre Gloor Lecture
The Neuro Epilepsy Day and Pierre Gloor Lecture is a half-day event. The day will focus on big data in research and management of epilepsy.听
The Pierre Gloor lecture honours the life and legacy of Pierre Gloor (1923-2003) who joined McGill's Montreal Neurological Institute in 1952 as a fellow in electroencephalography and neurophysiology. He studied with Wilder Penfield and Herbert Jasper, eventually receiving his Ph.D. from McGill in 1957. Pierre Gloor worked closely with the clinical and research teams at the Montreal Neurological Institute in the treatment of epilepsy. His work in understanding and treating this disorder earned him a worldwide reputation.
