Teaching Interests
Dr Garcia Losarcos is a member of the Stereoelectroencephalography Consortium and the Educational Advisory Course Committee of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, the Spanish Committee of the American Epilepsy Society, and directs the Ictal Semiology Course at the American Clinical Neurophysiology Meeting. -
Research Interests
Dr Garcia Losarcos made significant contributions as the primary author detailing an innovative technique for performing multiple hippocampal transections using radiofrequency. This novel procedure disrupts seizure propagation within the hippocampus without impairing verbal memory, thereby preserving memory function in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy from the language-dominant side. The methodology of the technique was published in the October 2021 issue of the Educational Journal of the International League Against Epilepsy. -
