The Lullaby Project as a Musical Intervention for Pregnant Individuals With Epilepsy
This study's proposed intervention is the randomized participation of pregnant individuals with epilepsy in the Lullaby Project coordinated by a musical institution in Toronto. The purpose of this present study is to investigate the potential benefits of the Lullaby Project on pregnant individuals with epilepsy. Namely, effects on quality of …
Tianasen (ASO-GNAO1) for GNAO1-Encephalopathy With Epilepsy and Movement Disorders.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug ASO-GNAO1 (Tianasen) in pediatric patients with c.607G\>A mutation in the GNAO1 gene associated with epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does intrathecal administration of ASO-GNAO1 slow or …
Intensive Preoperative Speech Rehabilitation in Drug-Resistant Temporal Epilepsy
Out of 30,000 new cases per year in France, 30% of epileptic patients are drug-resistant. Neurosurgery, which consists in resecting the epileptogenic zone, is the only chance of cure. In the case of temporal epilepsy of the language-dominant hemisphere (TLE), this procedure presents a high risk of increasing cognitive difficulties …
Spatial Memory and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) can cause memory disorders, including long-term forgetfulness due to a failure to consolidate verbal but also spatial information. The forgetting phenomenon presented by these epileptic patients is called accelerated forgetting in the literature and remains difficult to objectify during cognitive assessments. It is indeed particularly complicated …
MiCrobiota-gut-brain Axis in Resistant Epilepsy
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological chronic conditions with a serious burden on patients, their caregivers, and society. Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) heightens this burden. New approaches are thus a priority. Studies in animal models and humans have shown the link between gut microbiota (GM) and the central nervous …
A Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Zonisamide as a First Add-On Treatment in Epileptic Seizures
This study primarily aims to assess the efficacy and safety of zonisamide when used as an adjunctive therapy for focal epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the frequency of epileptic seizures decrease after oral zonisamide， and does it improve cognitive function? Are there any treatment-emergent adverse …
fMRI in Deep Brain Stimulation
With fMRI, we want to understand the mechanisms of brain neuromodulation in (dys)functional brain circuits, to obtain knowledge on involved brain networks in DBS.
Oscillatory Activity in Basal Ganglia Circuits During Normal and Pathological Movement
The expression of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic motor symptoms is accompanied by pathological synchronous oscillations of neuronal activity in this cortico-subcortical network with a wide frequency range. The purpose of this research is to study cortico-subcortical oscillations and their synchronization in two pathologies emblematic of hypokinetic (Parkinson's disease) and hyperkinetic (epilepsies) …
Localizing Epileptic Networks Using MRI and iEEG
Upon successful completion of this study, the investigators expect the study's contribution to be the development of noninvasive imaging biomarkers to predict IEEG functional dynamics and epilepsy surgical outcomes. Findings from the present study may inform current and new therapies to map and alter seizure spread, and pave the way …
Mapping and Modulating the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Socio-Affective Processing
The overall goal of this study is to map the spatiotemporal dynamics of social affective processing and to examine selective modulation of these dynamics in humans undergoing invasive intracranial monitoring for treatment-resistant epilepsy and depression. Pursuing this signal from a novel platform with invasive intracranial recording electrodes provides much-needed spatial …
