Epilepsy is a network disorder and each type of seizure involves distinct cortical and
subcortical network, differently implicated in the control and propagation of the ictal activity …

Over the past few years, the role of the basal ganglia in epilepsy has been widely debated,
the debate being mainly based on experimental data obtained from several animal models …

The basal ganglia are composed of a set of forebrain structures implicated in the adaptive
control of behaviour. These structures process information originating from the entire …

This article attempts an overview of the clinical and electrophysiological evidence
supporting the involvement of the basal ganglia in epileptic seizures. In contrast to animal …

Since the development of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's Disease, DBS has
been suggested as a treatment option for various other neurological disorders. Stimulation …

Since the pioneering studies of Cooper et al. to influence epilepsy by cerebellar stimulation,
numerous attempts have been made to reduce seizure frequency by stimulation of deep …

Like normal cerebral function, epileptic seizures involve widespread network interactions
between cortical and subcortical structures. Although the cortex is often emphasized as the …

During the last two decades, evidence has accumulated to demonstrate the existence, in the
central nervous system, of an endogenous mechanism that exerts an inhibitory control over …

There is substantial evidence in the literature that the basal ganglia (BG), namely the
striatum and pallidum, are involved in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The BG are probably …

Introduction There is renewed interest in the use of electrical stimulation to control seizures
in patients with medically refractory epilepsy. The evidence indicates that multiple nuclei are …
