Default mode function in patients with generalised epilepsy syndromes: from generalised to focal findings.

Introduction: Many recent studies have suggested that generalised epilepsy is associated with cortical epileptogenic focus, and therefore distinguishing between focal and generalised often becomes difficult.

Aim Of Study: We aimed to detect differences between default mode function in patients with idiopathic generalised epilepsy who have discharges on EEG, and healthy persons.

Material And Methods: This was a case-control study; we performed EEG analysis with LORETA in 17 patients with a type of generalised epilepsy and a control group represented by 17 healthy age-matched persons.

Cortical connectivity in stroke using signals from resting-state EEG: a review of current literature.

Introduction: Stroke is considered a substantial cause of disability worldwide and many researches are focused on rehabilitative interventions. Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies centered on brain networks after stroke describe affected functional connectivity between areas within the default mode, sensorimotor, visual, fronto-parietal and executive networks. Recent studies renewed the perspective of utilizing electroencephalography to describe markers of cortical activity in stroke and recovery neurophysiological processes.
