April 20, 2009 - Newsweek magazine did a front page story on "The Mystery of Epilepsy - Why we must find a cure". Great to see this kind of recognition from a major publisher.

13 Full pages have been dedicated to the story. The title of the article is "A Storm in the Brain - The toll of epilepsy has been overlooked and research underfunded - for too long. A call to action"

The article speaks very frankly about the statistics and deaths in epilepsy and why more funding is needed. The story follows Dr. Devinsky as he treats patients in Manhattan. It is a very real look at the dangers of seizures and the obstacles parents and patients face everyday. You can still purchase the magazine through ebay or you can watch a video clip.
