Multifocal epilepsy in children is associated with increased long-distance functional connectivity: An explorative EEG-fMRI study.

CONCLUSION: This explorative study shows that multifocal activity is associated with generally increased long-distance functional connectivity in the brain. It can be suggested that this pronounced connectivity may represent either a risk to pathological over-synchronization or a consequence of the multifocal epileptic activity.
