Review current understandings and treatment in four rapidly evolving fields in the clinical neurophysiology, neuromuscular disease and epilepsy: CIDP , personalized and precision medicine, and neuromodulation therapy in drug-resistant epilepsy; acquired vs hereditary demyelination.

Learning Objectives:

To learn about personalized medicine.
To diferentiate diabetic from non-diabetic CIDP.
To learn about new treatments for drug-resistant epilepsy facilitated by intracranial electrode investigation.
To learn how to differentiate hereditary dysmyelination from acquired hereditary and acquired non-hereditary demyelination.
