About
Dr. Jessica A. Johnson is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical treatments for intractable epilepsy. Her major contributions lie in the comparative analysis of invasive monitoring techniques for seizure localization, particularly the transition from traditional subdural electrode (SDE) grids to minimally invasive robotic stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). Her landmark 2019 study, cited over 190 times, provided critical evidence on the comparative morbidity and outcomes of these approaches, demonstrating that SEEG offers a safer profile while maintaining high efficacy in localizing epileptic foci. This work has directly influenced clinical practice, helping to shift the standard of care toward less invasive procedures. Dr. Johnson’s research has been instrumental in improving patient safety and surgical outcomes, earning her recognition as a key figure in epilepsy surgery. Her studies continue to guide neurosurgeons worldwide in selecting the most appropriate and least harmful diagnostic strategies for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
