Coherence Analysis for Epilepsy Patients: An MEG Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is crucial to quantitatively evaluate the treatment of epilepsy patients. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that compared to the healthy control subjects, the epilepsy patients have abnormal resting-state connectivity. In this study, we used the imaginary part of coherency to measure the resting-state connectivity. The analysis results shown that compared to the healthy control subjects, epilepsy patients tend to have abnormal rhythm brain connectivity over their epileptic focus. Keywords—Coherence, connectivity, resting-state, epilepsy

An assessment of MEG coherence imaging in the study of temporal lobe epilepsy.
PURPOSE This study examines whether magnetoencephalographic (MEG) coherence imaging is more sensitive than the standard single equivalent dipole (ECD) model in lateralizing the site of epileptogenicity in patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). METHODS An archival review of ECD MEG analyses of 30 presurgical patients with TLE was undertaken with data extracted subsequently ...
متن کاملNeuromagnetic coherence of epileptic activity: An MEG study
PURPOSE This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that patients with epilepsy have abnormal imaginary coherence compared with control subjects. METHODS Thirty patients with seizures underwent magnetoencephalography (MEG) recording using a whole cortex MEG system. Conventional equivalent current dipoles (ECDs) and synthetic aperture magnetometry (SAM) were used to analyze MEG data. Neur...
متن کاملThe Effect of Botulinum Toxin on Network Connectivity in Cervical Dystonia: Lessons from Magnetoencephalography
Background Pharmacological management of cervical dystonia (CD) is considered to be symptomatic in effect, rather than targeting the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. Magnetoencephalography (MEG), a direct measure of neuronal activity, while accepted as a modality for pre-surgical mapping in epilepsy, has never been used to explore the effect of pharmacotherapy in movement disorders. ...
متن کاملIncreased Intrinsic Connectivity of the Default Mode Network in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Evidence from Resting-State MEG Recordings
The electrophysiological signature of resting state oscillatory functional connectivity within the default mode network (DMN) during spike-free periods in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) remains unclear. Using magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings, this study investigated how the connectivity within the DMN was altered in TLE, and we examined the effect of lateralized TLE on functional connecti...
متن کاملThe correlation of magnetoencephalography to intracranial EEG in localizing the epileptogenic zone: a study of the surgical resection outcome.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the agreement between magnetoencephalography (MEG) and intracranial electroencephalography (ICEEG) results, to determine the characteristics that lead to concordance, and to assess how these factors relate to favorable epilepsy surgery outcome. MATERIALS This retrospective study reviewed 50 patients who had positive MEG findings and ICEEG recordings between 2008 and 201...
