Preya Shah, M.D., Ph.D., a former student in the Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics, published a paper on Friday in Brain highlighting the contributions of neural structure to functional networks in epilepsy.
The article, titled “Characterizing the role of the structural connectome in seizure dynamics”, reveals the presence of patient-specific spatiotemporal patterns, indicating that seizure dynamics are tightly controlled by the underlying structure of the brain. Understanding these highly stereotyped patterns may pave the way for new therapies and individualized intervention strategies in epilepsy.
