About

Lorella Minotti is a leading figure in the surgical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, with a particular focus on advancing stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) techniques. Her primary research areas include frameless robot-assisted SEEG, insular epilepsy localization, and the refinement of pediatric epilepsy surgery. Dr. Minotti’s most significant contribution is her pioneering work on frameless robot-assisted SEEG, which has revolutionized the field by offering a less invasive, more accurate alternative to traditional frame-based methods. Her landmark 2018 study, cited over 100 times, demonstrated the technical superiority and safety of this approach in children, establishing a new standard for localizing the epileptogenic zone. She has also authored a comprehensive review on robot-assisted insular SEEG, a notoriously challenging area to access, further solidifying her expertise in complex epilepsy cases. Beyond her technical innovations, Dr. Minotti is recognized for her work on “Watching Brain TV and Playing Brain Ball,” a creative exploration of real-time brain activity visualization. With her work accumulating hundreds of citations, she has profoundly impacted how clinicians map and treat epilepsy, making her a vital resource for any researcher or student interested in the future of functional neurosurgery.
