During the opening ceremony of the LICE National Congress in Cagliari, Dr. Alice Ballerini received the 2026 Renato Galli Award (€1000). The prize is established by the Fondazione Epilessia LICE in memory of Renato Galli and recognises the best epilepsy paper published in 2025 by an Italian researcher under 40. The award went to her study “Late-onset temporal lobe epilepsy: insights from brain atrophy and Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers”, published in Brain, which showed that late-onset temporal lobe epilepsy of unknown origin is not always associated with Alzheimer-type neurodegeneration.
