Diffusion imaging shows microstructural alterations in untreated, non‐lesional patients already after a first unprovoked seizure

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 833-846, March 2025.
Abstract Objective Patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy exhibit brain white matter (WM) abnormalities, but the temporal dynamics of these are unknown. The literature suggests these alterations might be present before diagnosis. This study investigates WM microstructural integrity using diffusion imaging in non‐lesional (NL), interictal epileptiform ...

Rare dysfunctional SCN2A variants are associated with malformation of cortical development

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 914-928, March 2025.
Abstract Objective SCN2A encodes the voltage‐gated sodium (Na+) channel α subunit NaV1.2, which is important for the generation and forward and back propagation of action potentials in neurons. Genetic variants in SCN2A are associated with a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders.

A new perspective on drug‐resistant epilepsy in children with focal cortical dysplasia type 1: From challenge to favorable outcome

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 632-647, March 2025.
Abstract Objective We comprehensively characterized a large pediatric cohort with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type 1 to expand the phenotypic spectrum and to identify predictors of postsurgical outcomes. Methods We included pediatric patients with histopathological diagnosis of isolated FCD type 1 and at least 1 year of postsurgical follow‐up.

Preferential superficial cortical layer activation during seizure propagation

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 929-941, March 2025.
Abstract Objective Focal cortical seizures travel long distances from the onset zone, but the long‐distance propagation pathways are uncertain. In vitro and in vivo imaging techniques have investigated the local spread of seizures but did not elucidate long‐distance spread. Furthermore, classical studies in slices suggested seizure spread locally along

Surgical targeting of lateralized 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography hypometabolism relates to long‐term epilepsy surgery outcomes

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Surgical resection of the seizure onset zone can be an effective treatment for patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy. Clinical, electrophysiological, and imaging data are all gathered prior to surgery to localize the seizure onset zone.

Frequency‐specific alterations in brain connectivity induced by pulvinar stimulation

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is emerging as a promising therapy for patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy, particularly those who are either unsuitable for or unresponsive to resective surgery. The potential benefit of DBS in these patients may stem from its ability to reduce excessive brain functional connectivity (FC).

Prospective neuroimaging and neuropsychological evaluation in adults with newly diagnosed focal epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Few prospective studies exist on newly diagnosed focal epilepsy (NDFE), a critical period for understanding epilepsy's biology and identifying biomarkers and potential interventions. We report a prospective cohort study in patients with NDFE and age‐, sex‐, and education‐matched healthy controls.

Patterns of phosphorylated tau accumulation in a spectrum of acquired and developmental brain lesions associated with refractory epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Phosphorylated tau (pTau) has been reported in surgical resections in refractory epilepsy. It is unclear whether this is activity‐driven physiological pTau or signifies the advent of neurodegenerative cascades, relevant to memory decline.
