The South China Epilepsy Forum is an academic regular meeting of the Guangdong Anti-Epilepsy Association, held once a year. It aims to provide an academic exchange platform for personnel engaged in epilepsy-related fields (neurology, neurosurgery, pediatric neurology, and related specialties) and to standardize and improve the level of epilepsy diagnosis and treatment in Guangdong Province. This conference brought together many top experts, scholars, and clinicians in the field of epilepsy in China, who shared and discussed in depth cutting-edge research, the latest technologies, and clinical cases in the field of epilepsy. Director Li Houlin of Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Hospital was invited to attend and held in-depth discussions with conference experts on important topics such as the mechanisms and genetic research advances of focal cortical dysplasia, the surgical treatment of refractory epilepsy, and the identification and management of epilepsy comorbidities.

Professors Give Presentations
Professor Wu Jie gave a presentation titled“Mechanisms Underlying Epilepsy in Alzheimer’s Disease,” reviewing the mechanisms of epilepsy in Alzheimer’s disease from multiple aspects.
Professor Liao Weiping gave a presentation titled **“Mechanisms of Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) and New Epileptogenic Genes,”** explaining that the pathogenesis of FCD involves neuronal migration disorders and cell proliferation disorders, and that its epileptogenic mechanisms are complex, involving multiple genes and inflammatory responses.
Professor Wang Qun shared updates on the EEG diagnosis of NCSE.
Professor Cao Gang gave a presentation titled “Development of Single-Cell Multi-Spatial Omics Technology and Its Application in Neurological Disease Research.”
Professor Guo Yanwu shared on the application of mobile MRI dynamic monitoring, explaining in detail that mobile MRI dynamic monitoring can significantly improve the accuracy of diagnosis and surgery, reduce complications, and provide strong support for the clinical treatment of epilepsy.
The forum also included a debate competition and a case-sharing session, which not only promoted the exchange of professional knowledge but also opened up new directions for research and treatment in the field of epilepsy. In this segment, experts and scholars actively exchanged views and articulated their perspectives, reflecting the positive and uplifting atmosphere of the entire epilepsy forum.
