Conventional preoperative evaluation in pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy relies on clinical surrogates that quantify seizure exposure but not its impact on brain networks. A newly developed diffusion-weighted imaging connectome biomarker, anchored to intracranial electroencephalography-confirmed seizure onset zones and resolved across 6 neurocognitive domains, addresses this gap. This individualized approach classifies cognitive impairment with high accuracy and may offer a more precise, clinically interpretable tool to inform surgical timing.

Patient-independent automated pediatric seizure monitoring based on expert-labeled electrographic ictal data as core reference knowledge

Question: Can deep learning models trained on expert-verified electroencephalography segments reliably detect seizures and be applied to single-channel wearable monitoring?
Finding: This technique demonstrated 80.1%–100% sensitivity and low false-alarm rates. On 1,604 expert-labeled segments, the model outperformed previous studies in terms of latency and accuracy across unseen datasets.
Meaning: Expert-labeled data are essential for achieving universal seizure detection. This channel-specific approach enabled efficient and continuous monitoring using wearable devices.
