We study patterns of partial synchronization in a network of FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillators
with empirical structural connectivity measured in human subjects. We report the …

The human brain, largely accepted as the most complex biological system known, is still far
from being understood in its parts or as a whole. More specifically, biological mechanisms of …

Surgery is a valuable option for pharmacologically intractable epilepsy. However, significant
post-operative improvements are not always attained. This is due in part to our incomplete …

If we had to formulate in one sentence what this book is about, it might be “How partial
differential equations can help to understand heat explosion, tumor growth or evolution of …

The use of extreme events theory for the analysis of spontaneous epileptic brain activity is a
relevant multidisciplinary problem. It allows deeper understanding of pathological brain …

Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterised by the recurrence of seizures. During
seizures multiple brain areas can behave abnormally. Rather than considering each …

The longstanding dichotomy between the concepts of “focal” and “primary generalized”
epilepsy has become increasingly blurred, raising fundamental questions about the nature …

Active brain stimulation to abate epileptic seizures has shown mixed success. In spike-wave
(SW) seizures, where the seizure and background state were proposed to coexist, single …

Surgery is a therapeutic option for people with epilepsy whose seizures are not controlled by
anti-epilepsy drugs. In pre-surgical planning, an array of data modalities, often including …
