Abstract
In clinical practice, EEG-fMRI contributes to presurgical evaluation by linking epileptic foci to functional brain networks, thereby balancing seizure control with preservation of cognitive functions. It also offers insights into disease progression, helping clinicians monitor how recurrent seizures affect long-term neural connectivity. Furthermore, EEG-fMRI provides a platform for the development of targeted interventions, including neurostimulation and cognitive rehabilitation strategies, by clarifying the network dynamics underlying cognitive decline.
The use of EEG-fMRI represents a transformative advance in epilepsy research and management, bridging the gap between seizure localization and the broader understanding of cognitive network dysfunction. Its continued integration into clinical and experimental frameworks promises not only more precise diagnostic outcomes but also the potential for personalized, network-based therapeutic approaches.
