«And, depending on which aspect of importance is assessed, the seizure - generating area isn't — as commonly believed — the most important node within a large - scale
epileptic network.»
This large - scale
epileptic network comprises various areas of the brain involved in normal brain activity during both seizure - free intervals and those involved in so - called pathophysiological activities such as seizures.
