Dynamic functional brain connectivity facilitates adaptive cognition and behavior. Abnormal alterations within such connectivity could result in disrupted functions observed across various neurological conditions. As one of the most common neurological disorders, epilepsy is defined by the seemingly random occurrence of spontaneous seizures. A central but unresolved question concerns the mechanisms by which extraordinarily diverse dynamics of seizures emerge. Here, we apply a graph-theoretical approach to assess dynamic reconfigurations in the functional brain connectivity before, during, and after seizures that display heterogeneous propagation patterns despite sharing similar origins. We demonstrate unique reconfigurations in globally-defined network properties preceding seizure onset that predict propagation patterns of impending seizures, and in locally-defined network properties that differentiate post-onset dynamics. These results characterize quantitative network features underlying the heterogeneity of seizure dynamics and the accompanying clinical manifestations. Decoding these network properties could improve personalized preventative treatment strategies for epilepsy as well as other neurological disorders.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
