DESCRIPTION:The 2025-2026 Neuro Epilepsy Lecture Series covers hot topics i
 n basic and clinical epilepsy research. Speakers will include distinguishe
 d leaders and rising stars\, with the goal of bridging basic research and 
 clinical perspectives.\n\n\nRegister Now\n\nTo watch online\, click here\n
 \n\nMemory in Real Time: Naturalistic Memory Behavior Captures Neural Dyna
 mics\n\nPatients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) frequently report every
 day memory deficits which can be missed by traditional neuropsychological 
 tests. How can subtle disruptions in episodic memory be captured in relati
 onship to ongoing neural activity? Our lab embraces naturalistic\, continu
 ous memory behavior such as spoken recall and eye movements during visual 
 search to reveal interactions between physiological (e.g. theta-gamma\, sh
 arp wave ripples) and pathological (e.g. interictal epileptiform discharge
 s) events. In spoken recall tasks\, TLE patients demonstrate specific defi
 cits in retrieval\, sequence memory\, and remote biographical knowledge. I
 n visual association memory tasks\, TLE patients demonstrate inefficient v
 isual search and retrieval strategies. Ongoing micro–macro recordings furt
 her show that visual saccades dynamically modulate hippocampal theta and u
 nit firing during retrieval. In this talk\, I will highlight a few of the 
 behavioral paradigms my lab is developing to discover new insights into th
 e cognitive phenotype of episodic memory function in patients\, and their 
 relationship to normal and pathological hippocampal activity. Together\, t
 his work argues that naturalistic\, continuous memory measures—linked dire
 ctly to hippocampal physiology—offer a powerful framework to detect subtle
  cognitive decline in epilepsy and other memory impaired populations.\n\nA
 nli Liu\n\nAssociate Professor of Neurology\, NYU Grossman School of Medic
 ine\n\n\n\nAnli Liu\, MD\, is a neurologist at NYU Langone Comprehensive E
 pilepsy Center and the Center for Cognitive Neurology\, where she speciali
 zes in the treatment of epilepsy and memory disorders. Drawing on nearly t
 wo decades of training and clinical experience\, she diagnoses and manages
  seizures while also addressing memory impairments associated with conditi
 ons such as dementia. She brings extensive expertise in both patient care 
 and neuroscience research\, driven by a deep commitment to understanding h
 ow brain health shapes every aspect of life.\n\nDr. Liu’s approach to care
  emphasizes proactive patient engagement\, ensuring that individuals are w
 ell-informed and actively involved in their treatment plans. She prioritiz
 es listening carefully to patients’ experiences\, recognizing the unique w
 ays neurological conditions affect their lives\, and guiding them through 
 their health journeys with clarity and compassion.\n\nHer research focuses
  on the broader mechanisms of human memory\, particularly why memory fails
  in conditions such as epilepsy and dementia. Her laboratory develops tool
 s for the early diagnosis of memory impairment\, investigates the dynamic 
 interplay between normal and disease-related processes that influence memo
 ry\, and explores strategies to restore memory function. She collaborates 
 closely with experts in basic and cognitive neuroscience\, data science\, 
 and clinical practice to address these complex challenges. Dr. Liu is also
  dedicated to mentoring and training the next generation of physicians and
  scientists\, fostering a commitment to inquiry\, innovation\, and service
