No other neurological condition allows the same opportunities for
an intracranial electrophysiological study of the human brain as
epilepsy does. Epileptic surgery is designed to remove the
epileptic focus from the human brain, thereby effecting either cure
or substantial reduction of seizures in an individual with an
otherwise intractable condition. Its use as a treatment modality
dates from the late 19th century, and it has become a widely used
treatment option throughout the world in the last 20-30 years. The
complexity of epilepsy cases in surgical centres, and the need for
invasive electrode studies for pre-surgical evaluation, are both
greatly increasing. Invasive Studies of the Human Epileptic Brain
is the definitive reference text on the use of invasive
electroencephalographic (EEG) diagnostic studies in human epilepsy.
Written by some of the most renowned epilepsy experts of the 20th
and 21st centuries, the authors provide their expertise and
insights into the identification and mapping of intracranial
epileptiform and non-epileptiform activity, mapping of the human
brain function, and approaches in the use of invasive
electroencephalography in a variety of clinical situations. The
book is organized into an easily readable series of chapters and is
brilliantly illustrated with case studies; each providing an
intuitively comprehensive approach to invasive brain studies.
