Networks of cortical activity in infants with epilepsy.

ABSTRACT: Epilepsy in infancy links to a significant risk of neurodevelopmental delay, calling for a better understanding of its underlying mechanisms. Here, we studied cortical activity networks in infants with early-onset epilepsy to identify network properties that could pre-empt infants' neurodevelopmental course. We studied high-density (64 channel) electroencephalogram during non-rapid eye movement (N2) sleep in n = 49 infants at 1 year of age after being diagnosed with epilepsy during their first year of life. We computed frequency-specific networks in the cortical source space for two intrinsic brain modes: amplitude-amplitude and phase-phase correlations. Cortical activity networks of all frequency bands and connectivity modes were compared between the syndrome groups as well as betw
