Bergmanns Kinder-Akademie: FLIP UND FLAP - Was ist eigentlich Epilepsie?

"Bergmann's Children's Academy" invites young researchers between the ages of 8 and 12 to delve into the world of medicine via livestream. The event on May 8, 2021, will focus on the topic of "Epilepsy." Epilepsy is a disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain. Children and teenagers can also be affected. This results in what are known as epileptic seizures. Pediatric neurologist Dr. Mona Dreesmann will explain exactly what this means and what happens in the brain during a seizure. You will learn about FLIP and FLAP, two nerve cells – one healthy and the other the trigger for epileptic seizures. Dr. Dreesmann will also show you how the brain is examined, how epilepsy is treated, and how to react correctly if you witness an epileptic seizure. Dr. Dreesmann looks forward to your questions in the YouTube chat, which she will be happy to answer.
