In this podcast, Chrystal M. Reed, MD, PhD, discusses her team’s research on the association between interictal epileptiform discharges and transient cognitive impairments in patients with chronic epilepsy. She also explains what the findings may mean for patients’ quality of life and future treatment options.

Chrystal M. Reed, MD, PhD, is an assistant professor in Cedar-Sinai Medical Center’s Department of Neurology in Los Angeles, California.
