Mapping the coherence of ictal high frequency oscillations in human extratemporal lobe epilepsy

Abstract

Because HFOs have been shown to localize to the epileptogenic zone, and we have demonstrated a correlation between ictal HFO intensity and coherence, we propose that ictal HFO coherence can act as an epilepsy biomarker. Moreover, the seizures studied here showed strong spatial correlation of ictal HFO coherence and intensity in the 80-270 Hz frequency range, suggesting that this band may be targeted when defining seizure-related regions of interest for characterizing ETLE.
