Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion 3T-MRI in assessing poorly defined focal epilepsy in children prior to surgery.
- Out of 25 pediatric patients, ASL abnormalities were observed in 68% of cases, with higher detection rates in MRI-positive individuals compared to MRI-negative ones.
- The ASL results showed a high sensitivity (91%) but lower specificity (50%) when matched against the confirmed epileptogenic zone in surgically treated patients, indicating its potential utility in presurgical evaluations for epilepsy.
Background: Mindfulness training (MT) programs represent an approach to attention training with well-validated mental health benefits. However, research supporting MT efficacy is based predominantly on weekly-meeting, facilitator-led, group-intervention formats. It is unknown whether participants might benefit from neurofeedback-assisted, technology-supported MT (N-tsMT), in which meditation is delivered individually, without the need for a facilitator, travel to a training site, or the presence of a supportive group environment.
