Functional Brain Mapping in Pediatric Neurosurgery
Who can join
6 Months – 21 Years · All sexes
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Epilepsy surgery with extraoperative intracranial EEG recording with subdural or depth electrodes. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with a malignant brain tumor, or progressive neurodegenerative or metabolic disorders who are not considered candidates for intracranial EEG recording.
About the study
We aim to determine the clinical utility of 'dynamic tractography': a novel method for visualizing electrical neural transfers that incorporates the underlying white matter tracts and supporting linguistic processing. We will also determine how well objective electrophysiology biomarkers will improve the prediction of language outcomes following epilepsy surgery. This project will ultimately optimize understanding of how the human brain develops its language network dynamics.
