Developing a Culturally Competent Neuropsychological Battery for Diagnosis of Dementia in Arabic-Speaking Patients in the United States.

Objective: In adherence to the American Educational Research Association (AERA) guidelines on culturally informed testing practices, this paper aims to review a suggested battery of tests that is linguistically and culturally appropriate for Arabic-speaking patients and to inform the reader of the varied characteristics of the Arab world to aid in providing a culturally informed neuropsychological evaluation.

Method: Test instruments in Arabic were identified through systematic searches of PubMed and Google Scholar, U.S.

Predictive value of magnetoencephalography in guiding the intracranial implant strategy for intractable epilepsy.

Objective: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a useful component of the presurgical evaluation of patients with epilepsy. Due to its high spatiotemporal resolution, MEG often provides additional information to the clinician when forming hypotheses about the epileptogenic zone (EZ). Because of the increasing utilization of stereo-electroencephalography (sEEG), MEG clusters are used to guide sEEG electrode targeting with increasing frequency.
