Hemimegalencephaly and normal intellectual development.

Hemimegalencephaly and normal intellectual development.

Hemimegalencephaly is a rare congenital malformation characterised by overgrowth of one hemisphere. Although it is commonly thought to be associated with neurological deficits, developmental delay, and intractable epilepsy, the clinical expression of hemimegalencephaly, can vary widely. This patient was neurologically and neuropsychologically normal apart from rare partial seizures.

Hemimegalencephaly and Epilepsy: An Overview

Introduction: Cerebral cortical development is a highly complex process influenced by environmental, genetic and functional abnormalities. Hemimegalencephaly (HME) is a rare brain malformation that involves overgrowth of one hemisphere. Clinically macrocephaly, mental retardation, contralateral hemiparesis, hemianopsia and intractable epilepsy may be present. Diagnosis is mainly done with image...

My research focuses on issues in the intersection of computer science (especially artificial intelligence and multiagent systems) and economics (especially microeconomic theory, game theory, social choice, and mechanism design). Each of these two disciplines can contribute significantly to the other. On the one hand, as computer systems become more interconnected, multiple parties must interact...
