Symptomatic Emotional Responses and Changes in Networks Elicited by Direct Electrical Stimulation.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Emotion is a major area of research in psychology and neuroscience. However, the role of direct electrical stimulation (DES) in emotional localization has not yet been fully explored. This study aimed to analyze the use of DES in examining the local connectivity of brain regions eliciting emotional responses, thereby providing evidence for a new perspective of local changes in brain networks during emotional responses.

Methods

We reviewed the clinical data of 500 patients with refractory epilepsy who underwent stereoencephalogram (SEEG) implantation to locate the epileptogenic area and functional mapping of the brain. The three-dimensional reconstruction was employed for the qualitative and positioning analysis on the emotional responses elicited using DES. We used Grang
