Rhythms of the Brain: Diagnosis, Surgical Treatment and Life Implications of Epilepsy

Neuronal oscillations are critical for brain function. They serve many functions in healthy humans and are important for the diagnosis and treatment of epileptic seizures. This course reviews the basis of neuronal oscillations and their context in diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy patients and recent findings on the role of neuronal oscillations in the near-death phase and end-of-life cycle.
