The intrinsic functional connectivity of target predicts seizure freedom after laser ablation. Less seizure freedom when ablation targets harbor robust and widespread intrinsic connectivity + involve specific regions (TL) + resting state networks (DMN, language, visuospatial).

We used lesion network mapping to identify resting-state networks associated with seizure freedom after laser ablation. Check it out:

@_brainscience @AmEpilepsySoc When I met Victor he was losing his ability to speak and was in a persistent convulsive state. Since surgery he is seizure free and thriving. There is a robust scientific evidence supporting the use of this procedure as it is both effective and safe. What alternative is there?
