Functional Connectivity Alterations in Epilepsy from Resting-State Functional MRI
The study of functional brain connectivity alterations induced by neurological disorders and their analysis from resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rfMRI) is generally considered to be a challenging task. The main challenge lies in determining and interpreting the large-scale connectivity of brain regions when studying neurological disorders such as epilepsy. We tackle this ch...
متن کاملQualitative and Quantitative Hippocampal MRI Assessments in Intractable Epilepsy
AIMS To acquire normative data of hippocampal volumes and T2 relaxation times, to evaluate and compare qualitative and quantitative assessments in evaluating hippocampi in patients with different durations of intractable epilepsy, and to propose an imaging protocol based on performance of these techniques. METHODS MRI analysis was done in 50 nonepileptic controls and 30 patients with intracta...
متن کاملFunctional MRI : Methods and Applications
The technique of functional magnetic resonance imaging is rapidly moving from one of technical interest to wide clinical application. However, there are a number of questions regarding the method that need resolution. Some of these are investigated in this thesis. High resolution fMRI is demonstrated at 3.0 T, using an interleaved echo planar imaging technique to keep image distortion low. The ...
متن کاملSurgical approaches to epilepsy
Epilepsy is a devastating condition with a lifetime incidence of 3.2% and a prevalence of five to ten per 1000 people [1]. Medical treatment with antiepileptic medication controls seizures in approximately 60–70% of patients [2]. The remaining patients endure frequent seizures with the concomitant problems of intellectual decline, neurological deficits and the risk of sudden unexplained death. ...
متن کاملNatural approaches to epilepsy.
This article reviews research on the use of diet, nutritional supplements, and hormones in the treatment of epilepsy. Potentially beneficial dietary interventions include identifying and treating blood glucose dysregulation, identifying and avoiding allergenic foods, and avoiding suspected triggering agents such as alcohol, aspartame, and monosodium glutamate. The ketogenic diet may be consider...
