Abstract
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is the most frequent etiology of operable pharmacoresistant epilepsy in children. There is burgeoning evidence that FCD-related epilepsy is a disorder that involves distributed brain networks. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a tool that allows one to infer neuronal activity and to non-invasively map whole-brain functional networks. Despite its relative widespread availability at most epilepsy centers, the clinical application of fMRI remains mostly task-based in epilepsy. Another approach is to map and characterize cortical functional ...
