[2025 Round-up] Epilepsy research in 2025: sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, artifical intelligence and seizure classification

Epilepsy is a dynamic, multidisciplinary field that rapidly adopts technological innovation. Reflecting this dynamism, 2025 saw substantial scientific, clinical, and technical advances in multiple domains of epilepsy research. Among the most influential advances were identification of risk markers for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), applications of artificial intelligence (AI) to predict treatment response and data interpretation, and the new epileptic seizure classification from the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE).
