Delineating epileptogenic networks using brain imaging data and personalized modeling in drug-resistant epilepsy

Huifang E. Wang et al.

Summary: We propose a virtual epileptic patient (VEP) workflow that uses personalized brain models and machine learning methods to estimate epileptogenic zone networks (EZNs) and aid surgical strategies. By sampling and optimizing personalized model parameters using functional stereoelectroencephalography recordings, the VEP accurately determines a patient's EZN. Additionally, the VEP can predict surgical outcomes using virtual surgeries.

Personalised virtual brain models in epilepsy

Viktor Jirsa et al.

Summary: Individuals with drug-resistant focal epilepsy can benefit from surgical treatment, but a presurgical evaluation is necessary to assess the feasibility of surgery without causing neurological deficits. Virtual brains, created using data from MRI, offer a computer simulation of seizures and brain imaging signals. By combining virtual brains with machine learning, it is possible to estimate the epileptogenic zone and understand seizure onset dynamics. However, the current models have limitations such as low spatial resolution, and further research is needed to validate their predictive power and potential clinical applications.

Mapping Lesion-Related Epilepsy to a Human Brain Network

Frederic L. W. V. J. Schaper et al.

Summary: Lesions associated with epilepsy were found to be located in various regions of the brain, but these lesion locations were part of a specific brain network connected to the basal ganglia and cerebellum. This finding can help identify patients at risk of epilepsy after a brain lesion and guide brain stimulation therapies.

Deep brain stimulation targets in epilepsy: Systematic review and meta-analysis of anterior and centromedian thalamic nuclei and hippocampus

Artur Vetkas et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). The results showed that DBS is an effective and safe therapy for DRE, with the best evidence supporting its use for the anterior thalamic nucleus. Further research is needed to explore the efficacy of DBS for other targets such as the centromedian thalamic nucleus and hippocampus. Factors such as electrode location, stimulation parameters, type of epilepsy, and duration of stimulation are associated with clinical outcomes. Advances in anatomical targeting, functional neuroimaging, and sensing technology could potentially improve outcomes of DBS for epilepsy.

Technology of deep brain stimulation: current status and future directions

Joachim K. Krauss et al.

Summary: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that allows targeted circuit-based neuromodulation and is now commonly used for the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremor, and dystonia. Advances in engineering and imaging technologies are expected to enhance the efficacy and tolerability of DBS procedures in the future.

Establishing Evidence for Clinical Utility of a Neuroimaging Biomarker in Major Depressive Disorder: Prospective Testing and Implementation Challenges

Mary E. Kelley et al.

Summary: This study is the first prospective test of the clinical utility of using an imaging biomarker to select treatment for patients with major depressive disorder. Results show some evidence for the role of right anterior insula activity in the clinical choice of monotherapy, but the effect size is insufficient to use insula activity as a sole predictive biomarker of remission. The study also highlights the logistical difficulties in establishing clinical utility.

Closed-loop neuromodulation in an individual with treatment-resistant depression

Katherine W. Scangos et al.

Summary: Deep brain stimulation is a promising treatment for neuropsychiatric conditions, with the potential to be optimized by identifying neural biomarkers. A study showed that biomarker-driven closed-loop therapy resulted in rapid and sustained improvement in depression symptoms. Further research is needed to determine if these results and approach can be applied to a broader population.

The SANTe study at 10 years of follow-up: Effectiveness, safety, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

Vicenta Salanova et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy, showing favorable outcomes with stable results. Reduction in frequency of the most severe seizure type may lower the risk of SUDEP. The SUDEP rate with DBS (2.0) is comparable to other neuromodulation treatments for drug-resistant focal epilepsy.

Connectomic Deep Brain Stimulation for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Juan Carlos Baldermann et al.

Summary: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a disabling psychiatric disorder, and deep brain stimulation is considered effective but not fully established due to ambiguity about the best target and mechanisms. Recent research suggests changes in broader brain networks, rather than local impact, are responsible for improvement in symptoms, with a connectomic approach aiming to characterize optimal target networks.

Pallido-putaminal connectivity predicts outcomes of deep brain stimulation for cervical dystonia

Ashley L. B. Raghu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that modulation of the primary motor putamen-posterior internal pallidum limb of the cortico-basal ganglia loop is characteristic of successful deep brain stimulation treatment of cervical dystonia. Preoperative diffusion imaging contains additional information that predicts outcomes, implying utility for patient selection and/or individualized targeting.

Anterior nucleus of the thalamus seizure detection in ambulatory humans

Nicholas M. Gregg et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using full bandwidth chronic intracranial EEG data for ANT PIB-based seizure detection. The results showed that the best detector had a 7-Hz center frequency, 5-Hz band width, and 10-second epoch duration, demonstrating high sensitivity and low false alarm rates for some patients.

Summary: This study analyzed the relationship between DBS lead locations and clinical outcomes, finding that subjects with good bilateral lead placements based on defined targets were more likely to be clinical responders. Specific sites within the ANT may be associated with superior clinical outcomes, highlighting the importance of continuing to evaluate these relationships to optimize DBS therapy.

Erik H. Middlebrooks et al.

Summary: The study showed that high-frequency stimulation (HFS) and low-frequency stimulation (LFS) in deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy treatment produce significant differences in local and downstream network effects, particularly displaying opposing effects within the limbic network and default mode network (DMN).

Long-term brain network reorganization predicts responsive neurostimulation outcomes for focal epilepsy

Ankit N. Khambhati et al.

Summary: Research has found that patients who receive RNS therapy undergo progressive, frequency-dependent reorganization of interictal functional connectivity, with the extent of this reorganization directly scaling with seizure reduction. This reorganization emerges within the first year of RNS treatment, potentially enabling early prediction of therapeutic response and revealing a mechanism for RNS involving network plasticity for the development of next-generation devices for epilepsy.
