Today we give you our conversation about consciousness in epilepsy with Dr. Hal Blumenfeld, Professor of Neurology, Neuroscience, and Neurosurgery at Yale University. In addition to being a well-regarded teacher of neuroanatomy, Hal is also a researcher, with his primary focus being in patients with epilepsy. We think that this episode dovetails nicely with the one we just released on neuroanatomy.
