We’re expanding our understanding of epilepsy and improving treatment options through cutting-edge advances in surgical research. A key area of our work includes single-unit recordings during sEEG.
This technique allows us to record electrical activity from individual brain cells (neurons) in children undergoing stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG), using the same electrodes that are used to monitor their brain activity during medical procedures. Unlike traditional recordings that provide information about large groups of brain cells, single-unit recordings let us study epilepsy at an extremely detailed level. By understanding the behavior of individual neurons, we can learn more about how epilepsy works and how the brain functions, which helps us develop more targeted and effective treatments.
