Abstract
Identifying the Epileptic Network
Highlights
This book opens with a chapter by Stefan and Lopes da Silva (1), who review the evidence for the concept of epileptic networks
These authors discuss the structure and dynamics of cortical networks, describe how these connections can be analyzed through linear and non-linear methodologies, and outline the dynamics of neuronal networks in the context of combined EEG/MEG and EEG/fMRI signals analysis. They conclude that the resulting network analysis has clear relevance to understanding the nature of seizures occurring with focal cortical dysplasia and with temporal lobe epilepsy
In the two chapters, by Constable et al (3) and Weaver et al (4) the focus is on using resting state fMRI to assess functional connectivity in the human brain, and how this approach can be applied to epilepsy
