Thalamic connectivity mirrors spatial maps of network dysfunction in nonlesional focal epilepsy
Abstract Objective Focal epilepsy is increasingly conceptualized as a network disorder, yet the extent to which network dysfunction reflects a shared phenotype remains unknown. Spatially conserved patterns of network dysfunction may implicate a centralized mechanism underlying widespread impairment.

Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to test whether arterial spin labeling (ASL) performs comparably to 2‐[18F]fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET), the mainstay functional imaging technique, in pediatric lesional epilepsy, while avoiding radiotracer exposure and additional sedation.

Abstract Objective This cohort study examined the agreement between youth‐ and parent‐reported health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) of children treated with epilepsy surgery compared to medical therapy. A second aim was to evaluate whether changes in HRQOL over 2 years differed between the two groups, and to determine whether these trajectories ...

Clinical use and radiological yield of magnetic resonance fingerprinting in epilepsy
Abstract Objective Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is a novel paradigm for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that efficiently generates multiparametric quantitative tissue property maps with a single acquisition. Its quantitative nature offers many advantages over conventional MRI.

Abstract Objective Most antiseizure medications (ASMs) have been discovered by testing in animal models, which are generally thought to predict antiseizure activity in patients. However, it is not known whether any of these models (or a combination of models) can predict whether a novel ASM exhibits higher clinical efficacy in focal drug‐resistant ...
