To verify whether interictal noninvasive information detected by magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings can contribute to localize focal epileptic activity relevant for seizure generation in lesional frontal lobe epilepsy, magnetic source imaging (MSI) localizations of epileptic discharges were compared to the extent of neurosurgical resection and postoperative outcome. Preoperative MEG spike localizations were displayed in postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to check whether dipole sites were located within the resection cavity. Moreover, MEG localizations were compared with results of prolonged video-EEG monitoring and, in three cases, with invasive EEG recordings. Our results in five cases with lesional frontal lobe epilepsy showed that good surgical outcome could be achieved in those patients where the majority of MEG spike localizations were located within the resected brain volume.

Post-stroke aphasia is a network disorder characterized by language impairments and aberrant network activation. While patients with post-stroke aphasia recover over time, the dynamics of the underlying changes in the brain remain elusive. Neuroimaging work demonstrated that language recovery is a heterogeneous process, characterized by varying activation levels in several regions of the left-hemispheric language network and the domain-general bilateral multiple-demand network.

In an 81-year-old man, brain diffusion-weighted MRI revealed punctate high-intensity lesions in the bilateral frontal cortex. Three months later, these lesions had extended into the cerebral cortices. Six months after the original MRI, the patient developed cognitive decline.

Objective: This study examined the relationship between diffusion tensor imaging indicators and brain network characteristics in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) with (CSVD + S) and without (CSVD-S) sleep disturbance. We explored the feasibility of using these imaging biomarkers to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying sleep disturbance in patients with CSVD.
Methods: A total of 146 patients with CSVD and 84 healthy controls were included.

Objectives: Language is a critical aspect of human cognition and function, and its preservation is a priority for neurosurgical interventions in the left frontal operculum. However, identification of language areas can be inconsistent, even with electrical mapping. The use of multimodal structural and functional neuroimaging in conjunction with intraoperative neuromonitoring may augment cortical language area identification to guide the resection of left frontal opercular lesions.

Objectives: To assess topographical patterns of metabolic abnormalities in the cerebrum of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and their relationship to clinical disability using rapid echo-less 3D-MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) at 7T.
Materials And Methods: This study included 26 MS patients (13 women; median age 34) and 13 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (7 women; median age 33). Metabolic maps were obtained using echo-less 3D-MRSI at 7T with a 64 × 64 × 33 matrix and a nominal voxel size of 3.
