Summary

This study looks at how the brain creates seizures by using very small electrical currents to trigger them safely in children with hard-to-control epilepsy. Researchers will stimulate nearly all electrode contacts already placed in the brain for monitoring, to map the seizure network and help plan surgery. The goal is to improve surgical outcomes for children and young adults aged 1 to 30.
