OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of global semi-quantitative analysis via fluorine-18-flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET) at lateralizing seizure foci and diagnosing patients with unilateral temp...
PURPOSE: Quasi-stable electrical distribution in EEG called microstates could carry useful information on the dynamics of large scale brain networks. Using machine learning techniques we explored if abnormalities in microstates can identify patients ...
During seizures, a myriad of clinical manifestations may occur. The analysis of these signs, known as seizure semiology, gives clues to the underlying cerebral networks involved. When patients with drug-resistant epilepsy are monitored to assess thei...
OBJECTIVES: Experimental models have provided compelling evidence for the existence of neural networks in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). To identify and validate the possible existence of resting-state "epilepsy networks," we used machine learning met...
OBJECTIVE: Medial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of medication-resistant focal epilepsy in adults. Despite removal of medial temporal structures, more than one-third of patients continue to have disabling seizures postoperativel...
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE-HS) is a common type of pediatric epilepsy. We sought to evaluate whether the combination of voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and support vector machine (SVM), a machine learning method, was...
OBJECTIVE: We assessed preoperative structural brain networks and clinical characteristics of patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) to identify correlates of postsurgical seizure recurrences.

PURPOSE: Epilepsy is one of the most disabling neurological disorders, which affects all age groups and often results in severe consequences. Since misdiagnoses are common, many pediatric patients fail to receive the correct treatment. Recently, F-fl...
OBJECTIVE: Improving the identification of the epileptogenic zone and associated seizure-spreading regions represents a significant challenge. Innovative brain-imaging modalities tracking neurovascular dynamics during seizures may provide new disease...
