Genetic studies have identified several of the genes associated with malformations of
cortical development which might disrupt each of the main stages of cell proliferation and …

It is not easy to determine the location of the cerebral generators and the other brain regions
that may be involved at the time of an epileptic spike seen in the scalp EEG. The possibility …

Epilepsy surgery requires precise localization of the epileptic source. EEG-correlated
functional MRI (EEG-fMRI) is a new technique showing the haemodynamic effects of …

Objective: Surgical treatment of focal epilepsy in patients with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD)
is most successful if all epileptogenic tissue is resected. This may not be evident on …

Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are commonly complicated by intractable
focal epilepsy. Epileptogenesis in these disorders is not well understood and may depend …

Background The main challenge in assessing patients with epilepsy for resective surgery is
localising seizure onset. Frequently, identification of the irritative and seizure onset zones …

The prevalence of epilepsy is about 1% and one-third of cases do not respond to medical
treatment. In an eligible subset of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, surgical resection of …

The combining of electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) is a unique noninvasive method for investigating the brain regions involved …

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical relevance of EEG/fMRI in patients with focal epilepsy, by
assessing the information it adds to the scalp EEG in the definition of the epileptic focus …

In this personalized review, the history of EEG recorded simultaneously with functional MRI
(EEG–fMRI) is summarized. A brief overview is given of the hardware development followed …
