Inter-individual variability in symptoms and the dynamic nature of brain pathophysiology present significant challenges in constructing a robust diagnostic model for migraine. In this study, we aimed to integrate different types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), providing structural and functional information, and develop a robust machine learning model that classifies migraine patients from healthy controls by testing multiple combinations of hyperparameters to ensure stability across different migraine phases and longitudinally repeated data. Specifically, we constructed a diagnostic model to classify patients with episodic migraine from healthy controls, and validated its performance across ictal and interictal phases, as well as in a longitudinal setting.

Objective: The piriform cortex (PC) plays a critical role in ictogenesis, where an excitation/inhibition imbalance contributes to epilepsy etiology. However, the epileptic dynamics of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system and the precise role of GABAergic neurons within the PC in epilepsy remain unclear.
Methods: We combined Ca and GABA sensors to investigate the dynamics of Gad2-expressing neurons and GABA levels, and selectively manipulated GABAergic neurons in the PC through chemogenetic inhibition and caspase3-mediated apoptosis targeting Gad2 interneurons.

Objective: This study was undertaken to anatomically categorize insulo-opercular focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) lesions according to their location and extent, and to summarize corresponding stereoelectroencephalographic (SEEG) patterns to guide preoperative evaluation and surgical planning.
Methods: Patients who underwent epilepsy surgery for insulo-opercular FCD between 2015 and 2022 were enrolled. FCD lesions were categorized into insular, peri-insular, opercular, and complex types based on their location and extent, as ascertained from electroclinical and neuroimaging data.

Obstructive sleep apnea frequently coexists with epilepsy, potentially influencing its pathophysiology. However, the effect of obstructive sleep apnea severity on interictal epileptiform discharges is not well understood. To explore this, we studied 108 Asian patients with epilepsy who underwent single-night polysomnography.

Objective: To analyze cognitive performance and brain activation during a working memory task in patients with migraine during various phases of the migraine cycle and compare to healthy participants.
Background: Cognitive difficulties reported during migraine attacks remain poorly understood, despite evidence that the lateral frontoparietal network undergoes reversible disturbances and decreased activation during attacks. Recent findings in resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging suggest that brain areas involved in this network interact with subcortical regions during spontaneous migraine attacks.
