Neuro Epilepsy Lecture Series - Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and Its Role in Drug Resistant Epilepsy
La série de conférences Neuro Épilepsie 2024-2025 proposera huit sessions abordant les thèmes les plus actuels en recherche fondamentale et clinique sur l'épilepsie. Cette série réunira des leaders reconnus ainsi que de jeunes talents prometteurs, dans le but de renforcer les liens entre la recherche fondamentale et les perspectives cliniques.

Abstract: This lecture will cover advanced techniques in the use of magnetoencephalography (MEG) for the presurgical investigation of drug-resistant epilepsy. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of MEG and its critical role in epilepsy surgery planning. The session will provide a detailed comparison of various inverse source localization techniques, including dipole mapping, distributed source modeling, and ictal beamforming, highlighting their clinical applications in non-invasively modeling interictal spike foci and seizures. Attendees will learn when source modeling of interictal spikes may provide sufficient data to proceed directly to epilepsy surgery without additional invasive monitoring. Furthermore, the lecture will offer insights into the sub-centimeter localization accuracy of electromagnetic source imaging, supported by validation from intracranial EEG studies. By the end of the lecture, participants will have a robust understanding of how these cutting-edge techniques enhance the accuracy and efficacy of presurgical evaluations for epilepsy, ultimately improving surgical outcomes.
