Modification of brain conductivity in human focal epilepsy: A model-based estimation from stereoelectroencephalography.

We provide a novel model-based method for estimating brain conductivity from SEEG low-intensity pulse stimulations. The brain tissue conductivity is lower in EZ as compared to non-EZ. Conductivity also varies significantly across anatomical brain regions. Involved pathophysiological processes may include changes in the extracellular space (especially volume or tortuosity) in epileptic tissue.
