The localization and lateralization of fear aura and its surgical prognostic value in patients with focal epilepsy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/acn3.51607
Abstract: Fear aura has traditionally been considered relevant to epileptic discharges from mesial temporal areas, and few studies have investigated its effect on surgical outcome in drug‐resistant epilepsy. We aim to assess the localizing and lateralizing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00259-019-04356-x
Abstract: PurposeFDG PET is an established tool in presurgical epilepsy evaluation, but it is most often used selectively in patients with discordant MRI and EEG results. Interpretation is complicated by the presence of remote or multiple… read more here.

F05. Neurophysiological effects of chronic subthreshold cortical stimulation for focal epilepsy: Spike and spontaneous ECoG activity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Clinical Neurophysiology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.04.168
Abstract: Introduction Neurostimulation is a treatment option for drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Chronic subthreshold cortical stimulation (CSCS) is a novel, promising technique that directly targets the seizure onset zone (SOZ) with continuous electrical stimulation. Prior retrospective analyses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2018.12.009
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) are important to identify the epileptogenic zone and to define epileptic syndromes. However, not all patients show IEDs on scalp EEG. We evaluate the likelihood of not findings spikes on… read more here.
