USDEpilepsy is a prevalent and serious neurological disorder. This vital textbook addresses the role of neuroimaging as a unique tool to provide in vivo biomarkers aimed at furthering our understanding of causes and consequences of epilepsy in a day-to-day clinical context. Unique in its approach, this translational book presents a critical appraisal of advanced pre-clinical biomarkers that allows capturing epileptogenesis at molecular, cellular, and neuronal system levels. The book is divided into four sections. Part I includes a series of chapters focused on imaging of early disease stages. Part II discusses lesion detection and network analysis methods. Part III focuses on imaging methods used to predict response to antiepileptic drugs and surgery. Finally, Part IV presents imaging techniques used to evaluate disease consequence.
- Places emphasis on clinical relevance and applications throughout, with a dedicated final section in each chapter
- Provides a wide-ranging focus including neuroimaging in paediatric and adult patients, and epilepsy surgery, relevant to all practitioners
- Situated in real-life context, addressing practical applications on the causes and consequences of epilepsy at molecular, cellular, and neuronal system levels
