Haut, M.D., from the Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y., and colleagues randomized 66 adults with medication-resistant

In spite of more than 15 antiepileptic drugs employing different modes of action to suppress or prevent seizures, with frequent mild-to-severe adverse effects, around ~30% of patients, particularly suffering from
focal epilepsy, remain resistant to drug treatment [1].
Recent work has demonstrated the potential of network metrics derived from rs-fMRI to provide clinically meaningful markers of cognitive function in adults [5, 6], in healthy children [7], and in children with
focal epilepsy [5-8].
In this paper, we propose a novel workflow for depicting seizure occurrence in refractory
focal epilepsy. This network-based workflow detects the seizure occurrence and monitors the total seizure course, which is the first work aiming at monitoring alteration of network reorganizations throughout seizures as far as we know.
The means and standard deviations for RCFT Immediate Recall according to sex and lateralization of
focal epilepsy are shown in Table 2.
We also report two
focal epilepsy patients with insular involvement, followed in the Department of Neurology.

Focal Epilepsy. Clin Neuropharmacol.
Classification of epileptic patients according to their clinical history and EEG findings indicated that 59 (71.1%) had generalized and 24 (28.9%) had
focal epilepsy syndromes.
This study aimed to verify the performance obtained by children with benign
focal epilepsy in childhood and children without epilepsy in neuropsychological tests of attention and executive functions.
