Article Synopsis
- Intractable focal epilepsy severely impacts cognitive function and quality of life, with surgery being a potential treatment that often fails due to incomplete mapping of the epileptic area.
- Research using magnetoencephalography (MEG) on 61 presurgical epilepsy patients showed that those with epilepsy had significantly decreased global functional connectivity compared to controls, which was linked to longer epilepsy duration and more severe seizures.
- Patients with higher connectivity at the surgery site had better chances of becoming seizure-free post-operation, indicating that connectivity patterns may aid in predicting surgical outcomes in epilepsy treatment.
