Resting-state brain activity distinguishes patients with generalised epilepsy from others

Epilepsy is a chronic medical condition characterised by the recurrence of unprovoked seizures, which are paroxysmal events caused by pathological neuronal discharges in the brain [1]. It is categorised into three types according to the 2017 operational classification of epileptic seizures by the International League Against Epilepsy [2]: generalised epilepsy (GE), focal epilepsy (FE), and combined generalised and focal epilepsy. Diagnostic classification is clinically important because different therapeutic strategies are used for each type [3].
