Extrapial Hippocampal Resection in Anterior Temporal Lobectomy for Drug-Resistant Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Mark Richardson, MD, PhD, of the Department of Neurosurgery, and colleagues describe an extrapial approach to hippocampal resection in anterior temporal lobectomy for treatment of drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy that has proven to be safe and as effective as subpial techniques.

Microscale Electrophysiological Markers May Help in the Development Antiseizure Therapies
Jimmy C. Yang, MD, and Sydney S. Cash, MD, PhD, of the Department of Neurology, and colleagues made microelectrode recordings during neurosurgeries and identified cortex microdomains that seem to contribute to the seizure network—an important step toward understanding how to develop better treatments for epilepsy.

Peak Epileptiform Activity Burden Linked to Neurologic Outcome in a Range of Hospitalized Patients
When neurologists at Massachusetts General Hospital used a computational neural network to review continuous EEG data on 1,967 medical, neurologic, and surgical patients, peak EA burden, but not the cumulative burden, was independently associated with very poor neurologic outcomes and death.
