The epilepsies are one of the most common serious brain disorders, can occur at all ages,
and have many possible presentations and causes. Although incidence in childhood has …

MRI has been applied to the investigation of epilepsy for 12 years. The principle role of MRI
is in the definition of structural abnormalities that underly seizure disorders. Hippocampal …

Brain imaging has a crucial role in the presurgical assessment of patients with epilepsy.
Structural imaging reveals most cerebral lesions underlying focal epilepsy. Advances in MRI …

Probabilistic atlases of neuroanatomy are more representative of population anatomy than
single brain atlases. They allow anatomical labeling of the results of group studies in …

Background Surgery is increasingly used as treatment for refractory focal epilepsy; however,
few rigorous reports of long-term outcome exist. We did this study to identify long-term …

Background Detailed neuropathological information on the structural brain lesions
underlying seizures is valuable for understanding drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Methods We …

Neurotransmitter receptors support the propagation of signals in the human brain. How
receptor systems are situated within macro-scale neuroanatomy and how they shape …

Attenuation correction is an essential requirement for quantification of positron emission
tomography (PET) data. In PET/CT acquisition systems, attenuation maps are derived from …

Background Patients with epilepsy are at risk of sudden unexpected death. Neurogenic
cardiac arrhythmias have been postulated as a cause. Electrocardiograms (ECG) can be …

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a classic noninvasive method for measuring a person's
brainwaves and is used in a large number of fields: from epilepsy and sleep disorder …
