Dynamic imaging of coherent sources reveals different network connectivity underlying the generation and perpetuation of epileptic seizures [PDF]
, 2013 The concept of focal epilepsies includes a seizure origin in brain regions with hyper synchronous activity (epileptogenic zone and seizure onset zone) and a complex epileptic network of different brain areas involved in the generation, propagation, and ...
