About Me
Many patients with epilepsy will respond to medications, but about 30% will not. In those patients, we consider epilepsy surgery as a possible solution to controlling their seizures. Most of these patients will require invasive monitoring where brain activity is measured by electrodes that are implanted in the brain to clearly determine where their seizures are coming from. Invasive monitoring offers important information for the treatment of epilepsy, but it also provides valuable insights in the function of the human brain.
Dr. Young’s research uses patients that are being invasively monitored for epilepsy surgery to try to understand how brain activity supports thinking and to improve the effectiveness of surgery for the treatment of epilepsy. In addition, he studies brain activity from invasive monitoring in other settings including deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and from the responsive neurostimulation (RNS) device.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Young has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
