Intracranial Stereo-EEG Resolves Discordant Clinical vs. Neuroimaging Findings in Patient With Tonic–Clonic Seizures
Irfan S. Sheikh, MD, Mark Richardson, MD, PhD, Sydney S. Cash, MD, PhD, and colleagues present an instructive case in which intracranial stereo-EEG resolved discordance between clinical, MRI, and scalp EEG findings, allowing diagnosis of focal cortical dysplasia type 2b and resection that led to seizure freedom.

Hemostatic Factors Have Potential As Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in MS
Caterina Mainero, MD, PhD, and colleagues reviewed the interplay of fibrinogen and coagulation factors with neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis. They conclude that basic knowledge of the coagulation pathways could be translated into new treatment approaches and novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.

Novel Evaluation of Cerebrovascular Response in Chronic Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Radiologists and neurologists at Massachusetts General Hospital have shown that an O2-CO2 exchange ratio is more useful than change in partial pressure of carbon dioxide when using functional MRI to assess cerebrovascular response to a breath-hold challenge in patients with chronic mild traumatic brain injury.
