Biography：
Dr. Jao is currently attending physician and division head of the Division of Neurological Electrodiagnosis, Department of Neurology, NTUH. He graduated with a M.D. degree from National Cheng Kung University and received residency training in NTUH. He then obtained a master’s degree from the Interdisciplinary MRI/MRS Lab, Graduate Institute of Biomedical Electronics and Bioinformatics, NTU, and a Ph.D. degree from the Brain Mapping Unit, University of Cambridge, UK.
Dr. Jao is interested in better understanding and treatment of epilepsy, and is keen to explore the structure and origins of human consciousness through the window of this particular disease. He has participated in establishing various EEG examinations and multimodal imaging platforms in NTUH for research and clinical purposes, and also studied the resilience and vulnerability of the complex brain networks using various functional brain data. In this talk he will give an overview of the neuromodulation and neurostimulation in epilepsy, and focus on how these non-pharmacological non-resectional approaches have been demonstrated to drive network disease like epilepsy into a better way.

Lecture Abstract：
Neuromodulation and neurostimulation for the treatment of epilepsy have become increasingly popular. Since December 2020, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) has been enrolled into the benefit package of our National Health Insurance (NHI), and as expected the number of patients receiving this treatment has increased significantly.
Epilepsy, regarded as a network disease, is usually robust and resilient to intervention; however specific non-pharmacological non-resectional approaches like VNS and DBS have been demonstrated to modify the brain network structure and treat epilepsy to a certain extent. My presentation will illustrate the development, application, and possible future of especially VNS, as well as various other neuromodulation and neurostimulation techniques that could be applied for patients with epilepsy now and forthcoming time.
