Interictal network synchrony and local heterogeneity predict seizure relief following pediatric epilepsy surgery (S55.001)

Conclusions:Global network synchrony and local signal heterogeneity measures were sufficient to predict surgical outcome (i.e., seizure relief) among our patient sample with impressive accuracy. Interictal network measures represent promising biomarkers for assessing patient candidacy in pediatric epilepsy surgery.Study Supported by:American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)National Research and Education Foundation (NREF)Disclosure: Dr. Tomlinson has nothing to disclose.
