Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Epileptology
Neuroscience

Background:

The temporopolar cortex (TP) is vital for cognitive functions and epilepsy pathogenesis.
Existing electrode devices struggle to achieve complete coverage of the TP due to its anatomical location.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel multi-pronged electrode array designed for dense coverage of the TP surface.
To evaluate the efficacy of this array for seizure localization and cognitive mapping in patients with epilepsy.

Main Methods:

A novel TP electrode array was designed and implanted in twelve patients with medically intractable epilepsy.
Electrocorticographic (ECoG) recordings were obtained for seizure localization and cognitive mapping during a naming task.

Main Results:

The novel TP electrode array achieved excellent surface coverage in all patients.
High-quality ECoG data were consistently acquired, facilitating seizure delineation and functional mapping.
Localized increases in ECoG power were observed in the TP during a naming task.

Conclusions:

The developed TP electrode array effectively overcomes limitations of existing devices.
This array enables optimal multi-site recordings from the temporopolar cortex for clinical and research applications.
