ObjectiveFocal cortical dysplasia (FCD) appears to be strongly associated with intractable epilepsy. Although patients FCD are candidates for epilepsy surgery, gray matter structural abnormalities can extend beyond the primary lesion, which makes surgery less effective. The objective of this study was evaluate functional connectivity patterns in explore underlying pathological mechanism disorde...

Recent activation and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that sound recognition and localization are processed in two distinct cortical networks that are each present in both hemispheres. Sound recognition and/or localization may be, however, disrupted by purely unilateral damage, suggesting that processing within one hemisphere may not be sufficient or may be disturbed by the contr...
