Abstract
Stereoelectroencephalography is a powerful intracerebral EEG recording method for the presurgical evaluation of epilepsy. It consists in implanting depth electrodes in the patient's brain to record electrical activity and map the epileptogenic zone, which should be resected to render the patient seizure-free. Stereoelectroencephalography has high spatial accuracy and signal-to-noise ratio but remains limited in the coverage of the explored brain regions. Thus, the implantation might provide a suboptimal sampling of epileptogenic regions. We investigate the potential of improving a suboptimal stereoelectroencephalography recording by performing source localization on stereoelectroencephalography signals. We propose combining independent component analysis, connectivity measures to identify components of interest, and distributed source modelling. This approach was tested on two patients with two implantations each, the first failing to characterize the epileptogenic zone and the second giving a better diagnosis. We demonstrate that ictal and interictal source localization performed on the first stereoelectroencephalography recordings matches the findings of the second stereo-EEG exploration. Our findings suggest that independent component analysis followed by source localization on the topographies of interest is a promising method for retrieving the epileptogenic zone in case of suboptimal implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical treatment of drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) depends on proper identification of the seizure onset zone (SOZ) and differentiation of mesial, temporolimbic seizure onsets from temporal neocortical seizure onsets. Noninvasive source imaging using electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) can provide accurate information on interictal spike localization; however, EEG and MEG have low sensitivity for epileptiform activity restricted to deep temporolimbic structures. Moreover, in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), interictal spikes frequently arise in neocortical foci distant from the SOZ, rendering interictal spike localization potentially misleading for presurgical planning. METHODS In this study, we used two different beamformer techniques applied to the MEG signal of ictal events acquired during EEG-MEG recordings in six patients with TLE (three neocortical, three MTLE) in whom the ictal source localization results could be compared to ground truth SOZ localizations determined from intracranial EEG and/or clinical, neuroimaging, and postsurgical outcome evidence. RESULTS Beamformer analysis proved to be highly accurate in all cases and was able to identify focal SOZs in mesial, temporolimbic structures. In three patients, interictal spikes were absent, too complex for dipole modeling, or localized to anterolateral temporal neocortex distant to a mesial temporal SOZ, and thus unhelpful in presurgical investigation. CONCLUSIONS MEG beamformer source reconstruction is suitable for analysis of ictal events in TLE and can complement or supersede the traditional analysis of interictal spikes. The method outlined is applicable to any type of epileptiform event, expanding the information value of MEG and broadening its utility for presurgical recording in epilepsy.

Clinical significance of ictal magnetoencephalography in patients undergoing epilepsy surgery. Clin Neurophysiol 2023; 145:108-118.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The significance of ictal magnetoencephalography (MEG) is not well appreciated. We evaluated the relationships between ictal MEG, MRI, intracranial electroencephalography (ICEEG), surgery and postoperative seizure outcome. METHODS A total of 45 patients (46 cases) with ictal MEG who underwent epilepsy surgery was included. We examined the localization of each modality, surgical resection area and seizure freedom after surgery. RESULTS Twenty-one (45.7%) out of 46 cases were seizure-free at more than 6 months follow-up. Median duration of postoperative follow-up was 16.5 months. The patients in whom ictal, interictal single equivalent current dipole (SECD) and MRI lesion localization were completely included in the resection had a higher chance of being seizure-free significantly (p < 0.05). Concordance between ictal and interictal SECD localizations was significantly associated with seizure-freedom. Concordance between MRI lesion and ictal SECD, concordance between ictal ICEEG and ictal and interictal SECD, as well as concordance between ictal ICEEG and MRI lesion were significantly associated with seizure freedom. CONCLUSIONS Ictal MEG can contribute useful information for delineating the resection area in epilepsy surgery. SIGNIFICANCE Resection should include ictal, interictal SECDs and MRI lesion localization, when feasible. Concordant ictal and interictal SECDs on MEG can be a favorable predictor of seizure freedom.

Abstract
Precise detection of brain regions harboring heightened electrical activity plays a central role in the understanding and treatment of diseases such as epilepsy. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) react to magnetic fields by aggregating and represent interesting candidates as new sensors for neuronal magnetic activity. We hypothesized that SPIONs in aqueous solution close to active brain tissue would aggregate proportionally to neuronal activity. We tested this hypothesis using an in vitro model of rat brain slice with different levels of activity. Aggregation was assessed with dynamic light scattering (DLS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We found that increasing brain slice activity was associated with higher levels of aggregation as measured by DLS and MRI, suggesting that the magnetic fields from neuronal tissue could induce aggregation in nearby SPIONs in solution. MRI signal change induced by SPIONs aggregation could serve as a powerful new tool for detection of brain electrical activity.

Abstract
AbstractAlthough presurgical evaluation of patients with pharamacoresistent focal epilepsies provides essential information for successful epilepsy surgery, there is still a need for further improvement. Developments of noninvasive electrophysiological recording and analysis techniques offer additional information based on interictal and ictal epileptic activities. In this review, we provide an overview on the application of ictal magnetoencephalography (MEG). The results of a literature research for published interictal/ictal MEG findings and experiences with own cases are demonstrated and discussed. Ictal MEG may provide added value in comparison to interictal recordings. The results may be more focal and closer to the invasively determined seizure onset zone. In some patients without clear interictal findings, ictal MEG could provide correct localization. Novel recording and analysis techniques facilitate ictal recordings. However, extended recording durations, movement and artifacts still represent practical limitations. Ictal MEG may provide added value regarding the localization of the seizure onset zone but depends on the selection of patients and the application of optimal analysis techniques.

Abstract
Background: Electric and magnetic source imaging methods (ESI, MSI) estimate the location in the brain of the sources generating the interictal epileptiform discharges (II-ESI, II-MSI) and the ictal activity (IC-ESI, IC-MSI). These methods provide potentially valuable clinical information in the presurgical evaluation of patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, evaluated for surgical therapy. In spite of the significant technical advances in this field, and the numerous papers published on clinical validation of these methods, ESI and MSI are still underutilized in most epilepsy centers performing a presurgical evaluation. Our goal was to review and summarize the published evidence on the diagnostic accuracy of interictal and ictal ESI and MSI in epilepsy surgery. Methods: We searched the literature for papers on ESI and MSI that specified the diagnostic reference standard as the site of resection and the postoperative outcome (seizure-freedom). We extracted data from the selected studies, to calculate the diagnostic accuracy measures. Results: Our search resulted in 797 studies; 48 studies fulfilled the selection criteria (25 ESI and 23 MSI studies), providing data from 1,152 operated patients (515 for II-ESI, 440 for II-MSI, 159 for IC-ESI, and 38 for IC-MSI). The sensitivity of source imaging methods was between 74 and 90% (highest for IC-ESI). The specificity of the source imaging methods was between 20 and 54% (highest for II-MSI). The overall accuracy was between 50 and 75% (highest for IC-ESI). Diagnostic Odds Ratio was between 0.8 (IC-MSI) and 4.02–7.9 (II-ESI < II-MSI < IC-ESI). Conclusions: Our systematic review and meta-analysis provides evidence for the accuracy of source imaging in presurgical evaluation of patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. These methods have high sensitivity (up to 90%) and diagnostic odds ratio (up to 7.9), but the specificity is lower (up to 54%). ESI and MSI should be included in the multimodal presurgical evaluation.

Abstract
With a prevalence of 0.8 to 1.2%, epilepsy represents one of the most frequent chronic neurological disorders; 30 to 40% of patients suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy (that is, seizures cannot be controlled adequately with antiepileptic drugs). Epilepsy surgery represents a valuable treatment option for 10 to 50% of these patients. Epilepsy surgery aims to control seizures by resection of the epileptogenic tissue while avoiding neuropsychological and other neurological deficits by sparing essential brain areas. The most common histopathological findings in epilepsy surgery specimens are hippocampal sclerosis in adults and focal cortical dysplasia in children. Whereas presurgical evaluations and surgeries in patients with mesial temporal sclerosis and benign tumors recently decreased in most centers, non-lesional patients, patients requiring intracranial recordings, and neocortical resections increased. Recent developments in neurophysiological techniques (high-density electroencephalography [EEG], magnetoencephalography, electrical and magnetic source imaging, EEG-functional magnetic resonance imaging [EEG-fMRI], and recording of pathological high-frequency oscillations), structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (ultra-high-field imaging at 7 Tesla, novel imaging acquisition protocols, and advanced image analysis [post-processing] techniques), functional imaging (positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography co-registered to MRI), and fMRI significantly improved non-invasive presurgical evaluation and have opened the option of epilepsy surgery to patients previously not considered surgical candidates. Technical improvements of resective surgery techniques facilitate successful and safe operations in highly delicate brain areas like the perisylvian area in operculoinsular epilepsy. Novel less-invasive surgical techniques include stereotactic radiosurgery, MR-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy, and stereotactic intracerebral EEG-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation.

Abstract
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) in the field of epilepsy has multiple advantages; just like electroencephalography (EEG), MEG is able to measure the epilepsy specific information (i.e., the brain activity reflecting seizures and/or interictal epileptiform discharges) directly, non-invasively and with a very high temporal resolution (millisecond-range). In addition MEG has a unique sensitivity for tangential sources, resulting in a full picture of the brain activity when combined with EEG. It accurately allows to perform source imaging of focal epileptic activity and functional cortex and shows a specific high sensitivity for a source in the neocortex. In this paper the current evidence and practice for using magnetic source imaging of focal interictal and ictal epileptic activity during the presurgical evaluation of drug resistant patients is being reviewed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Source localization of cerebral activity using electroencephalography (EEG) or magnetoencephalography (MEG) can reveal noninvasively the generators of the abnormal signals recorded in epilepsy, such as interictal epileptic discharges (IEDs) and seizures. Here, we review recent progress showcasing the usefulness of these techniques in treating patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. RECENT FINDINGS The source localization of IEDs by high-density EEG and MEG has now been proved in large patient cohorts to be accurate and clinically relevant, with positive and negative predictive values rivaling those of structural MRI. Localizing seizure onsets is an emerging technique that seems to perform similarly well to the localization of interictal spikes, although there remain questions regarding the processing of signals for reliable results. The localization of somatosensory cortex using EEG/MEG is well established. The localization of language cortex is less reliable, although progress has been made regarding hemispheric lateralization. Source localization is also able to reveal how epilepsy alters the dynamics of neuronal activity in the large-scale networks that underlie cerebral function. SUMMARY Given the high performance of EEG/MEG source localization, these tools should find a place similar to that of established techniques like MRI in the assessment of patients for epilepsy surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy relies on the identification of the seizure onset zone (SOZ) and often requires intracranial EEG (iEEG). We have developed a new approach for non-invasive magnetic and electric source imaging of the SOZ (MSI-SOZ and ESI-SOZ) from ictal magnetoencephalography (MEG) and EEG recordings, using wavelet-based Maximum Entropy on the Mean (wMEM) method. We compared the performance of MSI-SOZ and ESI-SOZ with interictal spike source localization (MSI-spikes and ESI-spikes) and clinical localization of the SOZ (i.e., based on iEEG or lesion topography, denoted as clinical-SOZ). METHODS A total of 46 MEG or EEG seizures from 13 patients were analyzed. wMEM was applied around seizure onset, centered on the frequency band showing the strongest power change. Principal component analysis applied to spatiotemporal reconstructed wMEM sources (0.4-1 s around seizure onset) identified the main spatial pattern of ictal oscillations. Qualitative sublobar concordance and quantitative measures of distance and spatial overlaps were estimated to compare MSI/ESI-SOZ with MSI/ESI-Spikes and clinical-SOZ. RESULTS MSI/ESI-SOZ were concordant with clinical-SOZ in 81% of seizures (MSI 90%, ESI 64%). MSI-SOZ was more accurate and identified sources closer to the clinical-SOZ (P = 0.012) and to MSI-Spikes (P = 0.040) as compared with ESI-SOZ. MSI/ESI-SOZ and MSI/ESI-Spikes did not differ in terms of concordance and distance from the clinical-SOZ. CONCLUSIONS wMEM allows non-invasive localization of the SOZ from ictal MEG and EEG. MSI-SOZ performs better than ESI-SOZ. MSI/ESI-SOZ can provide important additional information to MSI/ESI-Spikes during presurgical evaluation.
