This study reveals the precise timing of brain network activity during epileptic spikes using a novel electroencephalography-functional magnetic resonance imaging fusion method. This approach enhances understanding of epileptic networks and aids treatment planning.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Medical Imaging
- Epileptology
Background:
- Epileptic spikes involve both focal and distributed brain networks on a sub-second timescale.
- Standard electroencephalography-functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI) analyses lack the temporal resolution to sequence sub-second neural activity within spikes.
- Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of epileptic activity is crucial for effective treatment planning.
