Distinct thalamic functional connectivity and volume patterns across focal epilepsies in children: A multimodal neuroimaging study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The thalamus is a key hub in seizure propagation, and its nuclei are emerging targets for neuromodulation. However, the contributions of individual nuclei to epileptic networks remain unclear, particularly in children, who are less studied than adults.

Empathy for Pain: Insula Inactivation and Systemic Treatment With Midazolam Reverses the Hyperalgesia Induced by Cohabitation With a Pair in Chronic Pain Condition

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Empathy for pain is the ability to perceive and understand the pain in the other individual. Recent studies suggested that rodents have this social ability. GABAergic system has receptors in the brain structures involved in emotional processes as well as

Orbitofrontal cortex volume and brain reward response in obesity. [PDF]

, 2015
Background/objectivesWhat drives overconsumption of food is poorly understood. Alterations in brain structure and function could contribute to increased food seeking.

MR Visualization of the Insula

Magnetic Resonance in Medical Sciences, 2003
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has made possible non-invasive research on the living human brain. However, three-dimensional display of areas obscured by the operculum deep within the cortex has been difficult. This study used MRI in an attempt to establish a three-dimensional method of displaying an obscured brain structure (the insula).

Arterial spin labeling performs comparably to 2‐[18F]fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography for presurgical evaluation in pediatric lesional epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
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.

Insular Cortex—Biology and Its Role in Psychiatric Disorders: A Narrative Review

Brain Sciences
The insular cortex has emerged as a key region implicated in a wide array of cognitive, emotional, and sensory processes. The anterior part of the insula (AIC) is central to emotional awareness, decision-making, and interoception, while the posterior ...

Deep brain stimulation of the thalamus for intractable epilepsy (FRANCE study): A randomized clinical trial

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) compared with best medical treatment (BMT) in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE).

The Neurobiology of Eating Disorders. [PDF]

, 2019
Eating disorders are severe psychiatric illnesses with a typical age of onset in adolescence. Brain research in youth and young adults may help us identify specific neurobiology that contributes to onset and maintenance of those disorders.

Stereo‐EEG mapping of visual working memory with task‐related high‐gamma modulations

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We describe a safe, informative, and easy‐to‐implement approach for presurgical mapping of visual working memory (VWM) with stereo‐electroencephalography (SEEG). Methods Twenty‐four patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy, 11–23 years of age, performed a single‐probe change detection VWM task, during SEEG monitoring.
