Sujet de thèse: Localization and characterization of epileptic networks
Epilepsy is a neurological disease that affects approximately 1% of the population. It is the fourth most common neurological disorder and affects people of all ages. Epilepsy is usually characterized by repetitive seizures, called ictal periods, whose frequency and duration are variable, which are the results of excessive and abnormal cortical nerve cell activity in the brain. For the majority of patients (about 70%), seizures can be controlled by taking antiepileptic drugs, which can contribute to decrease the number and/or duration of seizures.
