[Comment] Mapping brain networks in patients with focal epilepsy

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting more than 50 million people worldwide. Around 70% of patients with epilepsy respond to antiepileptic drugs.1 For patients who do not respond, surgery is an accepted treatment option.2 Seizure recurrence after resection is seen in 30 –70% of patients and follows predictable slopes based on multiple factors, including the duration of epilepsy, history of generalised tonic seizures, frequency of preoperative seizures, and the presumptive pathological cause of epilepsy on MRI.
