Changes in local and network brain activity after stereotactic thermocoagulation in patients with <scp>drug‐resistant</scp> epilepsy

Abstract

Thermocoagulation induces both local and network-related (FC) changes in electrical brain activity of patients with DRE lasting for at least 15 min. This study demonstrates that the observed short-term modifications in brain network and local activity significantly differ between responders and nonresponders and opens new perspectives for studying the longer-lasting FC changes after RF-TC.
