Neural networks underlying hyperkinetic seizures: A quantitative PET and SEEG study

CONCLUSIONS: The dorsoanterior insular lobe, mesial frontal lobes (SMA/MCC), and the bilateral heads of the caudate nuclei were probably involved in the generation of HKS. The SEEG analysis further indicated that the occurrence of HKS might be partly associated with synchronized rhythmical alpha activity between dorsoanterior insula and SMA/MCC.PMID:34153637 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2021.108130
