In this episode, we sit down with neurologist Dr. Mark Stecker, the Editor-in-Chief of the ASET Journal , to explore the complexities of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE)—the most common form of focal epilepsy.
You’ll hear:
🔹 What makes the temporal lobe more vulnerable to injury—and why TLE is so prevalent
🔹 How symptoms like memory problems, cognitive changes, and seizures differ depending on the affected area
🔹 First-line treatment options such as Keppra and Lamictal, and when surgery or devices may be considered
🔹 Why patient education and advocacy are critical to achieving the best outcomes
Dr. Stecker also underscores the collaborative role of healthcare providers, including EEG technologists, in guiding patients through their treatment journey.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand epilepsy, treatment decisions, and the power of informed patient care.
