Therapeutic Options for Childhood Absence Epilepsy [PDF]
Pediatric Reports, 2021 Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a common pediatric generalized epileptic syndrome. Although it is traditionally considered as a benign self-limited condition, the apparent benign nature of this syndrome has been revaluated in recent years.

Impaired rich-club connectivity in childhood absence epilepsy [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 IntroductionChildhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a well-known pediatric epilepsy syndrome. Recent evidence has shown the presence of a disrupted structural brain network in CAE. However, little is known about the rich-club topology.

Functional brain network characteristics are associated with epilepsy severity in childhood absence epilepsy [PDF]
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2020 While cognitive impairments are not generally considered to be part of the childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) syndrome, some recent studies report cognitive, mainly attentional, deficits. Here we set out to investigate the whole brain functional network of

Altered neuromagnetic activity in default mode network in childhood absence epilepsy [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 PurposeThe electrophysiological characterization of resting state oscillatory functional connectivity within the default mode network (DMN) during interictal periods in childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) remains unclear. Using magnetoencephalographic (MEG)

Changes in Interictal Pretreatment and Posttreatment EEG in Childhood Absence Epilepsy [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Spike and wave discharges (SWDs) are a characteristic manifestation of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). It has long been believed that they unpredictably emerge from otherwise almost normal interictal EEG. Herein, we demonstrate that pretreatment closed-

Interhemispheric Functional Connectivity in Childhood Absence Epilepsy
Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2011 Using a blood oxygen level-dependent resting functional connectivity approach to analyze EEG-fMRI data, the properties of bihemispheric brain networks in 16 patients with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) were investigated during the interictal period, in
