Abstract

Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) have a global effect on the neurophysiology of the brain which is most likely reflected in functional brain activity recorded with EEG and fMRI. These effects may cause substantial inter-subject variability in studies where EEG correlated functional MRI (EEG–fMRI) is used to determine the epileptogenic zone in patients who are candidate for epilepsy surgery. In the present study the effects on resting state fMRI are quantified in conditions with AED administration and after withdrawal of AEDs.
