Multi-metric predictors of radiofrequency-treated trigeminal neuralgias.

Evaluation of neurovascular compression-related trigeminal neuralgia (NVC-TN) and its resolution through microvascular decompression are demonstrable by MRI and intraoperatively [Leal . (Atrophic changes in the trigeminal nerves of patients with trigeminal neuralgia due to neurovascular compression and their association with the severity of compression and clinical outcomes: Clinical article. .

SEEG-RF for revealing and treating Geschwind syndrome's epileptic network: A case study.

Stereotypic neural networks are repeatedly activated in drug-refractory epilepsies (DRE), reinforcing the expression of certain psycho-affective traits. Geschwind syndrome (GS) can serve as a model for such phenomena among patients with temporal lobe DRE. We describe stereo-electroencephalogram (SEEG) exploration in a 34-year-old male with DRE and GS, and his treatment by SEEG-radiofrequency (SEEG-RF) ablation.

Optimizing Electrode Configurations for Wearable EEG Seizure Detection Using Machine Learning.

Epilepsy, a prevalent neurological disorder, profoundly affects patients' quality of life due to the unpredictable nature of seizures. The development of a reliable and user-friendly wearable EEG system capable of detecting and predicting seizures has the potential to revolutionize epilepsy care. However, optimizing electrode configurations for such systems, which is crucial for balancing accuracy and practicality, remains to be explored.

[DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF A GIRL SUFFERING FROM DRUG RESISTANT EPILEPSY WITH AN INNOVATIVE MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACH].

Introduction: About one percent (over 81,000 patients) of the Israeli population suffer from epilepsy. The main treatment for this condition is medication, but about a third of the patients suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Each year about 5,000 new patients are diagnosed with epilepsy, of whom 3,000 are children.

FIRDA, refractory epilepsy, and SEEG-guided RF: A case report.

Objectives: We will demonstrate that FIRDA (frontal intermittent rhythmic delta activity)-otherwise related to systemic disorders and encephalopathy-has a role as an epileptic biomarker of deep-seated midline SOZ. Its abolishment following SEEG-guided radiofrequency of such SOZ correlates with clinical improvement suggesting its role as a noninvasive biomarker of otherwise inaccessible SOZs.

Methods: We report the case of AK who was admitted with "psychiatric and gastrointestinal complaints.

Are resting state spectral power measures related to executive functions in healthy young adults?

Resting-state electroencephalogram (rsEEG) has been found to be associated with psychopathology, intelligence, problem solving, academic performance and is sometimes used as a supportive physiological indicator of enhancement in cognitive training interventions (e.g. neurofeedback, working memory training).

Mechanisms of cognitive control in cadet pilots.

Background: Optimizing performance of aviators while minimizing risks arising from the exposure to extreme environment, both external and internal, is one of the principles guiding the Israeli Air Force. Young cadets in particular are considered an "at risk" population due to the fact that they have no experience in flight in the first stages of training and are therefore subjects for investigation.

Methods: In this study, we investigated the cognitive performance of young cadet pilots across different hours of the day.

Evaluating low-resolution tomography neurofeedback by single dissociation of mental grotation task from stop signal task performance.

Electroencephalography source localization neurofeedback, i.e Standardized low-resolution tomography (sLORETA) neurofeedback are non-invasive method for altering region specific brain activity. This is an improvement over traditional neurofeedback which were based on recordings from a single scalp-electrode.

Transient Adverse Side Effects During Neurofeedback Training: A Randomized, Sham-Controlled, Double Blind Study.

The benefits of clinical neurofeedback training are well known, however, its adverse side-effects are less studied. This research focuses on the transient adverse side effects of neurofeedback training via a double-blind, sham/controlled methodology. Thirty healthy undergraduate students volunteers were randomly divided into three treatment groups: increasing a modified Sensory Motor Rhythm, increasing Upper Alpha, and Sham/control group who receive a random reward.

Influence of electroencephalography neurofeedback training on episodic memory: a randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind study.

The relationships between memory processes and oscillatory electroencephalography (EEG) are well established. Neurofeedback training (NFT) may cause participants to better regulate their brain EEG oscillations. The present study is a double-blind sham-controlled design investigating the effect of NFT on memory.

When two become one: the role of oxytocin in interpersonal coordination and cooperation.

Cooperation involves intentional coordinated acts performed to achieve potentially positive outcomes. Here we present a novel explanatory model of cooperation, which focuses on the role of the oxytocinergic system in promoting interpersonal coordination and synchrony. Cooperation was assessed using a novel computerized drawing task that may be performed individually or cooperatively by two participants who coordinate their actions.
