The purpose of this meeting is to increase awareness and encourage further study of the potential link between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and epilepsy. This link is supported by both clinical and experimental evidence (see Reading List), but remains poorly understood. To improve this situation and fill pertinent knowledge gaps, we will bring together AD researchers with epilepsy researchers and ask them to critically discuss if aberrant neuronal activity might play a key role in AD pathogenesis and if this question deserves to be explored further in focused interdisciplinary basic and clinical investigations.
