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.

What does epilepsy care look like when a clinician has to see so many people each day?! Prof. Mamta Singh shares what high-volume epilepsy care really looks like in New Delhi - from specialist epilepsy clinics to outreach services across rural regions. We discuss why seizure freedom doesn't automatically equate to good quality of life, how experienced clinicians detect mental health and functional symptoms through observation and communication, cultural aspects, and why listening carefully to patients can sometimes be just as important as EEGs, MRIs, and other investigations!

Can exercise improve memory in people with an epilepsy? Dr. Jane Allendorfer explores how physical activity may drive measurable changes in verbal learning, memory function, and hippocampal connectivity! Building on a 6-week pilot study showing improved memory performance, we hear about her newly completed randomised clinical trial investigating exercise for memory rehabilitation in epilepsy, aiming to determine whether changes in brain networks can explain cognitive improvement and help predict who will benefit from intervention.
