DOI: 10.1002/ana.24928
Abstract: Intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) can be used to delineate the resection area in epilepsy surgery. High‐frequency oscillations (HFOs; 80–500 Hz) seem better biomarkers for epileptogenic tissue than spikes. We studied how HFOs and spikes in combined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ana.26548
Abstract: Epileptic spikes are the traditional interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) biomarker for epilepsy. Given their low specificity for identifying the epileptogenic zone (EZ), they are given only moderate attention in presurgical evaluation. This study aims to demonstrate… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Current topics in behavioral neurosciences"
DOI: 10.1007/7854_2021_228
Abstract: Psychiatric disorders and behavioral manifestations in patients with epilepsy have complex and multifactorial etiologies. The psychotropic properties of anti-seizure medications (ASMs) and psychiatric effects of epilepsy surgery can result in iatrogenic psychiatric symptoms or episodes… read more here.
