Interictal electroencephalographic functional network topology in drug‐resistant and well‐controlled idiopathic generalized epilepsy

Abstract

IGE network topology is more regular in the low alpha frequency band, potentially reflecting a more vulnerable structure. WC-IGE network topology is different from controls in the high alpha band. This may reflect drug-induced network changes that have stabilized the WC-IGE network by rendering it less likely to synchronize. These results are of potential importance in advancing the understanding of mechanisms of epilepsy drug resistance and as a possible basis for a biomarker of DR-IGE.
