Fernando Cendes is Full Professor of Neurology at the Department of Neurology, State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil, and serves as the Coordinator of the Epilepsy Surgery Program, Department of Neurology. He is board certified in Neurology, in Clinical Neurophysiology and in Diagnostic Neuroradiology. Dr. Cendes is a former EEG (1989) and Epilepsy Fellow (1991-1997) at the Montreal Neurological Institute, and received his PhD degree in Neuroscience at McGill University in 1997. He is the Director of The Brazilian Research Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (BRAINN). This Center focuses on investigating the basic mechanisms that lead to epilepsy and stroke, combining genetics, neurobiology, pharmacology, neuroimaging, computer sciences, robotics, physics, and engineering. Dr. Cendes is the Editor-in-Chief of Epilepsia and serves in several editorial boards. His research is focused on Epilepsy, Neuroimaging, and Clinical Neuroscience, with more than 540 full papers published. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The central biological questions of our RIDC is the investigation of basic mechanisms that lead to epilepsy and stroke and the injury mechanisms that follow the disease onset and progression, and are related to prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Our goals are to develop new methods and techniques to improve the understanding of mechanisms of damage, plasticity and repair in epileps…

Stroke is one of the most important causes of new-onset seizures in adults, accounting for up to 11% of all epilepsy etiologies in adults in high-income countries. Identifying patients at high risk of seizures after stroke is of great clinical importance, as these patients have higher mortality and disability than those without seizures. This multidisciplinary project will bring expertise…
To represent FAPESP in the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD). GACD is a collaboration of global health and medical research funding bodies. The Alliance initiates, facilitates and supports joint research activities on chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and in vulnerable and indigenous communities in high-income countries (HIC) t…

Plasma biomarkers have been investigated in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum as they were considered as a non-invasive and economical alternative for early diagnosis. Due to the high and growing incidence of dementia in the world, there is a great need to understand the relationship between blood biomarkers and other biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD), such as neuroimaging, for …
The mesial temporal lobe exhibits a high predisposition to epileptogenesis, rendering mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) one of the most common forms of focal epilepsy in adults. The impairment caused by this form of epilepsy encompasses extensive functional and structural alterations, which correlate with findings of hippocampal sclerosis and pharmacoresistance. To understand the exten…
This study aims to evaluate gray matter morphometry by structural MRI and microstructural changes in the white matter of the brain of Wistar rats by diffusion-weighted MRI. The analyses will focus on images made before and during the epileptogenesis latency period, and after the development of spontaneous seizures induced by pilocarpine. We aim to optimize a protocol for analyses of stru…
Epilepsy is a cerebral condition that generates a constant predisposition of epileptic seizures resulting from synchronous, anomalous, and excessive electrical discharges. Malformations of Cortical Development (MCD), an important etiology of Epilepsy, comprises a vast and heterogeneous group of disturbances in the cerebral cortex formation, with a genetic, infectious, vascular, or metabol…
Epilepsy is a chronic non-communicable disease that affects individuals of all ages. It is estimated that temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of focal epilepsy, accounting for 40% of cases in this population, which, in addition to structural damage, leads to functional losses with cognitive alterations. The evaluation of functionally connected neural networks provides an …
The epilepsies are chronic disorders defined by the recurrency of abnormal hyperactivation of a certain population of brain neurons, event that characterizes the seizures. The juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is a type of epileptic disorder in which the whole brain is affected during the seizure, marked by muscle jerks and tonic-clonic crisis. It is known that some brain structures are related…

Introduction: Irisin is a myokine induced by muscle contraction that has recently been proposed as a potential biomarker of synaptic plasticity. It promotes the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein critical for synaptic plasticity. Individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) not only exhibit alterations in disease-specific biomarkers, such as tau protein and amy…
Focal cortical dysplasias (FCD) are localized malformations of the cerebral cortex. Their neuropathological features classify them into three subtypes. FCD is one of the most frequent causes of drug-resistant focal epilepsies. White matter (WM) pathology is a well-defined hallmark feature in this type of epilepsy. Diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) is an MRI technique that allows noninvasive e…
Epilepsy is characterized by the repetition of epileptic seizures associated with differentetiological substrates, excluding symptomatic seizures caused by acute brain lesions, such ascollisions that cause momentary injuries to the brain or by metabolic derangements such as feversand drug use. The epileptic seizures present variable semiology depending on the surroundingcortical region an…
