Abstract:
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by abnormal brain network function. The localization of the epileptogenic zone and feature analysis of the epileptic networks are key issues in clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as in research of disease mechanisms. In recent years, electroencephalography-functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI), by integrating the high temporal resolution of EEG and high spatial resolution of fMRI, has provided an important tool for localizing epileptogenic zones and researching epileptic networks. This article reviews the recent advance in EEG-fMRI in epilepsy, with a focus on its role in localizing the origin of epileptic seizures, exploring the epileptic networks of different modalities, analyzing the characteristics of epileptic networks, and studying the pathogenesis of epilepsy combined with cognitive impairment, in order to analyze pathophysiological mechanisms of epilepsy and provide new perspectives for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
