Presidential Lectures are a series of free public colloquia spotlighting groundbreaking research across four themes: neuroscience and autism science, physics, biology, and mathematics and computer science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are designed to foster discussion and drive discovery within the New York City research community. We invite those interested in these topics to join us for this weekly lecture series.
Orrin Devinsky discusses autism and epilepsy, and the genetic, clinical and phenotypic features typical of individuals with these often comorbid disorders. He discusses how understanding shared and distinct mechanisms may improve prognosis, therapy and prevention.
