Presurgical
Applications of Functional MRI in Epilepsy
(fMRI: Epilepsy)

Principle Investigator:

The Goals:
The objective of this project is to validate applications of
FMRI in the surgical management of epilepsy. The first main hypothesis
is that among the brain areas showing FMRI activity during a given
task, there is a subset that is critically necessary for normal
performance of the task. Lesions in these areas (whether by anesthetization
or surgery) produce a graded deficit in the behavior that elicited
the FMRI response.
