Impaired consciousness in patients with absence seizures Investigated by functional tviRi, EEG, and behavioural measures: a cross-sectional study

摘要

Background The neural underpinnings of impaired consciousness and of the variable severity of behavioural deficits from one absence seizure to the next are not well understood. We aimed to measure functional MRI (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) changes in absence seizures with impaired task performance compared with seizures in which performance was spared.
