John G. R. Jefferys studies the brain mechanisms underlying epileptic seizures, using EEG recordings and animal models to understand how seizures start, spread, and interact with each other over time. A major focus of his recent work is Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), investigating how seizures disrupt breathing and heart function in ways that can prove fatal. His work spans cellular, network, and whole-body physiological scales.
