- 2004
Patients with medically intractable partial epilepsy and well-defined symptomatic MRI lesions were studied using phase-encoded frequency spectral analysis (PEFSA) combined with low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA), which can localize ictal EEG discharges accurately and improve correlation with brain anatomy by allowing coregistration of the ictAl generator with the MRI.

HS-ve PET-positive TLE may be a surgically remediable syndrome distinct from HS+ve TLE, with a pathophysiological basis that primarily involves lateral temporal neocortical rather than mesial temporal structures.

Study of families with focal epilepsy that were too small for conventional clinical diagnosis with FFEVF identified DEPDC5 mutations in approximately 12% of families, establishing high frequency mutations as a common cause of familial focal epilepsies.
NMDA Receptor Hypofunction Leads to Generalized and Persistent Aberrant γ Oscillations Independent of Hyperlocomotion and the State of Consciousness

- 25 August 2009
Findings suggest that NMDAr hypofunction-related generalized γ hypersynchronies represent an aberrant diffuse network noise, a potential electrophysiological correlate of a psychotic-like state that might cause dysfunction of brain operations, including the impairments in cognition and sensorimotor integration seen in schizophrenia.
Experimental traumatic brain injury induces a pervasive hyperanxious phenotype in rats.

This report provides the first evidence of persistent anxiety-like disturbances in an experimental model of TBI, indicating that the common occurrence of these symptoms in human sufferers is likely to have, at least in part, a neurobiological basis.
