Abstract
LCBF mapping appears unable to identify in rats the ictal onset zone of clinically significant amygdala-triggered seizures (stage 1), while the study of sub-clinical seizures (stage 0) allowed to correctly locate the amygdala onset of the seizures within the limbic network. Compared to human SPECT studies, this work confirms that some ictal hyperperfused areas belong to the spreading network rather than to the epileptogenic zone. The spatial recruitment of remote subcortical structures could be further investigated to strengthen the rationale of therapeutic stimulation of basal ganglia in drug-resistant epilepsies.
