Predictors of surgical intervention following stereo-electroencephalography in drug-resistant epilepsy -
CONCLUSION: In this contemporary sEEG cohort, habitual seizure capture and longer epilepsy duration were associated with proceeding to intervention, while implantation scope influenced treatment type. These findings highlight that predictors of surgical candidacy differ from those of long-term seizure outcomes, with important implications for patient selection, counseling, and efficient use of ...
Explainable Convolutional Channel Ranking (ECCR) for EEG-Based Detection of Idiopathic Absence Seizures -
Accurate identification of EEG electrodes associated with epilepsy is essential for developing real-time diagnostic applications. This paper introduces the Explainable Convolutional Channel Ranking (ECCR) method for identifying diagnostically relevant EEG channels for Idiopathic Absence Seizure (IAS) detection by analyzing channel-specific feature contributions learned by a convolutional neural...
Recommendations for structural magnetic resonance imaging in infants with first afebrile seizure or new onset epilepsy: Evidence-based recommendations from the ILAE Neuroimaging Task Force -
Infants aged 1-24 months with new onset epilepsy frequently present with structural brain abnormalities, yet no updated evidence-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidelines exist for this population. The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Neuroimaging Task Force developed evidence-based recommendations for structural brain MRI in infants with a first afebrile seizure or new onse...
Autistic Traits and Cognitive Flexibility in Adolescents With Epilepsy: A Comparative Study of Patients, Siblings, and Controls -
CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents with epilepsy demonstrate elevated autistic traits and cognitive inflexibility, independent of ASD diagnosis. The sibling findings suggest shared genetic or environmental risk factors. Early screening for these traits may guide targeted interventions to improve psychosocial outcomes.
Delta Power in SLC6A1-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder: Operationalizing Quantitative EEG Metrics for Biomarker Development -
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated delta power is a notable feature of SLC6A1-NDD. Cross-platform comparison demonstrates the feasibility of quantitative EEG analysis, while imperfect concordance highlights the need for pipeline standardization. Future work should validate these findings in larger cohorts and, as suitable reference data emerge, benchmark delta power metrics against age-matched children with...
EEG in the Emergency Department: When the Neurophysiological Test Can Be Avoided in Emergency Diagnostic Workups? The EMINENCE Study -
Introduction: This study was conducted to determine whether specific emergency physician (EP) diagnoses and/or neurological signs/symptoms upon admission to the Emergency Department (ED) were associated with normal/non-informative emergency electroencephalogram (emEEG). Methods: Data from consecutive patients admitted to the ED of our tertiary hospital over a two-year period (1 January 2023-31 ...
