概括
研究人员通过集群分析确定了两种基本震 (ET) 亚型. 亚型2是以后出现的非运动性症状,表现出更严重的大脑网络变化,暗示一种更恶性形式的ET.

- 神经成像是一种神经成像.
- 网络科学 网络科学
背景情况:
- 基本震 (ET) 呈现出显著的临床异质性,表明潜在的亚型.
- 识别这些亚型是了解ET的各种表现和预后的关键.
- 目前的理解缺乏对ET亚型分类的客观方法.
研究的目的:
- 使用无监督集群识别基本震 (ET) 的不同亚型.

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

302
Epilepsy is primarily characterized by unpredictable seizures, either provoked by an identifiable factor, such as injury or illness, or unprovoked, occurring spontaneously without apparent cause.
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
