often considered the prototypical generalized seizure, is actually a fast-spreading localized event. In a similar vein, Leite et al. (2) propose a novel method for linkage of EEG and fMRI signals in network analysis by describing in their report a “transfer function” between these divergent measures. They perform independent component analysis of EEG and extract metrics that express models of E...

In epileptic tissue, evidence is pointing to enhanced chemical signaling and disrupted li...
