Summary
Functional MRI (fMRI) effectively mapped seizure spread in a patient with frequent seizures. The fMRI data revealed how the seizure activity propagated across different brain regions, aiding in understanding seizure dynamics.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Radiology
- Epileptology
Background:
- Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures.
- Understanding seizure propagation patterns is crucial for effective treatment.
- Functional MRI (fMRI) offers a non-invasive method to study brain activity.
