Stereo EEG (SEEG) Set Up targeting the ANT

Fig. 5 depicts a setup for stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), which involves the invasive placement of electrodes to map functional networks in the brain at a high spatial resolution. In this example, one electrode is shown targeting the anterior thalamic nucleus (ANT) specifically. SEEG involves the placement of multiple depth electrodes directly into the brain tissue to record electrical activity from within the brain. SEEG is an effective tool for localizing the epileptic focus and planning surgical interventions for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. The high spatial resolution of SEEG can also be used to map functional networks involved in other neurological disorders.
