Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy in patients with epilepsy due to hypothalamic hamartomas
Abstract Objective What factors influence cognition and behavior in patients with epilepsy caused by hypothalamic hamartoma (HH)? Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 103 patients referred to the Epilepsy Center in Freiburg, Germany, over the past 24 years.

Frequency‐specific alterations in brain connectivity induced by pulvinar stimulation
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).

Two‐year outcomes of epicranial focal cortex stimulation in pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to report on the long‐term safety and efficacy of epicranial focal cortex stimulation (FCS) using the EASEE device as adjunctive neuromodulatory therapy in improving seizure control in adults with pharmacoresistant epilepsy originating from one predominant epileptogenic zone.

Abstract Objective Patient self‐report is known to be an inaccurate reflection of true seizure frequency in persons with epilepsy. The current study aimed to assess the safety and performance of the Minder system, a bilateral subscalp electroencephalographic (EEG) acquisition system for continuous long‐term EEG recording.

Abstract Objectives Accurate and user‐friendly methods to measure beta‐hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentration are needed to guide the optimal use of ketogenic diet therapy (KDT). We aimed to determine the correlation between serum, capillary, and salivary BHB concentration, and to validate an electrochemical salivary BHB point‐of‐care test (POCT) in ...
