Propofol, An Alternative to Amobarbital in Wadas Test in Electro corticography Based Epilepsy Surgery for Determining Dominance of Brain

Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, 2016
Amobarbital which is used rampantly for Wadas test is not available in Nepal and to find a dominant hemisphere in a functional Electro corticography (ECoG) based epilepsy surgery is a must.

Neuropsychological evaluation in American Sign Language: A case study of a deaf patient with epilepsy

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2022
In high-stake cases (e.g., evaluating surgical candidacy for epilepsy) where neuropsychological evaluation is essential to care, it is important to have culturally and linguistically appropriate and accessible neuropsychological instruments and ...

The human photosensitive epilepsy model for clinical proof-of-principle trials of novel antiseizure medications. 1. Use of the EEG in drug development and characteristics of the model. [PDF]

Epilepsia
Abstract Clinical development of novel antiseizure medications (ASMs) would benefit from an early proof‐of‐principle (POP) model. The photosensitivity model, which uses the photoparoxysmal electroencephalography (EEG) response (PPR) as a surrogate for seizures, is currently the only human model that allows POP trials of investigational compounds after ...

Localization of beta power decrease as measure for lateralization in pre-surgical language mapping with magnetoencephalography, compared with functional magnetic resonance imaging and validated by Wada test

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Objective: Atypical patterns of language lateralization due to early reorganizational processes constitute a challenge in the pre-surgical evaluation of patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.

The impact of cannabis use on intracarotid amobarbital testing

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2019
Chronic cannabis use impacts memory functioning, even while users are not acutely intoxicated. The impact of cannabis use on Wada or intracarotid amobarbital testing (IAT) has not previously been described.

A simple magnetoencephalographic auditory paradigm may aid in confirming left-hemispheric language dominance in epilepsy patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
OBJECTIVE:The intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) is the current "gold standard" in the preoperative assessment of language lateralization in epilepsy surgery candidates. It is, however, invasive and has several limitations.
