Treatments & Management

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is gaining attention as a possible treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), a condition where traditional medications just don’t cut it. One innovative approach involves low-frequency stimulation (LFS) targeting specific brain fiber tracts, like the corpus callosum (CC). This method seems to work by suppressing seizure activity across the cortex, but the exact ways it achieves this were still a bit of a mystery.

In recent research, scientists have made significant strides in improving closed-loop neurostimulation for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). While neurostimulation offers hope for those who don’t respond to conventional treatments, it currently requires manual adjustments and can yield unpredictable results. This study focuses on developing predictive models that can enhance the efficiency and reliability of…
