of the same name “The Neurobiology of Epilepsy: From Genes to Networks” held in Montreal on May 4–5, 2015, and organized by Drs L Carmant, P Cossette, E Rossignol, and J.-C Lacaille The editors would like to acknowledge the support of the Groupe de Recherche sur le Syste`me Nerveux Central, Universite de Montreal, for the organization of the meeting Epilepsy is a brain disease caused by abnormal and excessive electrical discharges of neurons The underlying etiologies are multiple, but recent research indicates an important role for pathological genetic variants causing dysregulation of neuronal networks This meeting brought together an international group of clinicians and basic scientists to share new information on the neurobiological basis of epilepsy, including clinical aspects, molecular mechanisms, neuronal networks, as well as animal models and novel therapies By trying to discuss the “neurobiology” of epilepsy, we mean to address the fundamental mechanisms underlying the genetic basis of epilepsy and hopefully lead to an understanding of epilepsy at the molecular, cellular, and network levels that will be translatable into improved treatment for patients with epilepsy The volume begins with sections covering novelties in the clinical investigation of patients with epilepsy Drs Zerouali, Ghaziri, and Nguyen describe multimodal imaging techniques involved in the investigation of epileptic networks in patients, focusing on insular cortex epilepsy Drs Myers and Mefford review current knowledge on the genetic investigation techniques used to identify molecular etiologies in patients with epileptic encephalopathies, and provide an overview of the clinical features and basic mechanisms of recently described genetic epileptic encephalopathies Dr Baulac examines how germline and somatic mutations in the genes of the GATOR1 complex, which regulates the mTOR pathway, cause focal epilepsies with variable foci An understanding of the “neurobiology” of epilepsy must also elucidate seizures at the microcircuit level and understand how neuronal networks are affected in epilepsy The volume continues with three chapters discussing the molecular, cellular, and network mechanisms involved in the genetics of epilepsy Drs Jiang, Lachance, and Rossignol consider the involvement of cortical GABAergic interneuron disorders in genetic causes of epilepsy; Drs Alexander, Maroso, and Soltesz discuss work on the organization and control of epileptic circuits in temporal lobe epilepsy; and Drs Dengler and Coulter review the normal and epilepsy-associated pathologic function of the hippocampal dentate gyrus A major justification for elucidating the genetic, molecular, cellular, and network basis of epilepsies is to develop effective treatment therapies for patients The volume then moves into investigations of animal models and therapies Drs Hernan and Holmes examine work on antiepileptic treatment strategies in neonatal epilepsy, and Drs Griffin, Krasniak, and Baraban discuss advancement in epilepsy treatment through personalized genetic zebrafish models xi xii Preface Finally, the concluding chapter for the volume is from Drs Prince, Gu, and Parada, describing antiepileptogenic repair of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic connectivity after neocortical trauma Elsa Rossignol, Lionel Carmant, and Jean-Claude Lacaille

connections with a variety of brain regions, including several frontal, temporal, and parietal structures The identification of the insular connectivity network is obviously valuable for understanding a number of cognitive processes, but also for understanding epilepsy since insular seizures involve a number of remote brain regions Ultimately, knowledge of the structure and causal relationships within the epileptic networks associated with insular cortex epilepsy can offer deeper insights into this relatively neglected type of epilepsy enabling the refining of the clinical approach in managing patients affected by it In the present chapter, we first review the multimodal noninvasive tests performed during the presurgical evaluation of epileptic patients with drug refractory focal epilepsy, with particular emphasis on their value for the detection of insular cortex epilepsy Second, we review the emerging multimodal investigation techniques in the field of epilepsy, that aim to (1) enhance the detection of insular cortex epilepsy and (2) unveil the architecture and causal relationships within epileptic networks We summarize the results of these approaches with emphasis on the specific case of insular cortex epilepsy Keywords Epilepsy, Insula, Connectivity, Networks, Multimodal, Causality, Neuroimaging EPILEPSY AS A SYSTEMS DISEASE For most epileptic patients (70%), anticonvulsive drugs adequately control seizures However, among the refractory cases, a significant proportion of patients are eligible for surgical treatment of seizures (Wiebe et al., 2001) The fundamental Progress in Brain Research, Volume 226, ISSN 0079-6123, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/bs.pbr.2016.04.004 © 2016 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved CHAPTER Insular cortex epileptic networks question in those cases is to localize the part of the brain that is responsible for patients’ seizures, which constitutes the central thread of this chapter Important advances in the surgical treatment of epilepsy arose from both a better formulation of this question and the development of methodological tools to answer it Indeed, our notion of epilepsy has evolved from a local-based to network-based model, capitalizing on the ability of neuroimaging to study brain function at increasingly high spatial and temporal resolutions Early in the last century, the measurement of brain electrical potentials on the scalp by Berger paved the way for the investigation of the neuroelectric correlates of epileptic seizures In addition to seizures, Berger also reported the existence of sharp electrical transients that are observable on the electroencephalogram (EEG) of epileptic patients in the absence of seizures These “spikes” are usually observed on electrodes that record seizures but this is not always the case This spatial distinction between the generators of seizures and spikes was further elaborated with the advent of intracranial EEG recordings (icEEG) icEEG allows excellent spatial discrimination of the neural generators of epileptic activity, which led Laufs and Rosenow to propose a “zonal” model to explain the pathophysiology of epilepsy (Rosenow, 2001) The “zonal” model recognizes different zones associated with the clinical symptoms (symptomatogenic zone), the interictal spikes (irritative zone), the initiation of seizures (seizure onset zone—SOZ), and the functional deficits associated with the epileptic condition (functional deficit zone) Importantly, they define an “epileptogenic” zone (EZ) that consists of the brain tissue that must be surgically resected for seizures to be cured The spatial location of the EZ is usually estimated using multimodal investigation techniques, as will be described in the next section, but its true location can only be confirmed through positive surgical outcome Although the zonal concept of epilepsy had an important impact on the clinical management of epileptic patients, failure rates for epilepsy surgeries remain relatively important, as high as 30% for temporal lobe—TLE (Jeha et al., 2006; Wiebe et al., 2001) and 50% for frontal lobe—FLE (Jeha et al., 2007; Yun et al., 2006) and parietal lobe—PLE (Binder et al., 2009; Kim et al., 2004a) epilepsy In 2002, Spencer formulated the idea that we should envision generators of interictal and ictal activities as networks of structures rather than single zones (Spencer, 2002) Since the transition from interictal to ictal to postictal brain states occurs at the time scale of synaptic activity, this idea has two corollaries First, it implies that the neural machinery supporting the emergence of epileptogenic networks (ENs) is hardwired into the brain (Richardson, 2012) Thus, epilepsy is a systems disease, the symptoms of which result from aberrant connectivity among a set of anatomical healthy structures (Avanzini and Franceschetti, 2003) Some authors suggest that neural networks are bistable systems that can exhibit both healthy and epileptiform activity for the same set of parameters (Breakspear et al., 2006; Da Silva et al., 2003; Marten et al., 2009) Dynamical transitions between these two states are called bifurcations, and the epileptic condition facilitates such bifurcations The second corollary is that the network assembly is a highly flexible process; for a given set of components, there are a large number of network architectures, all of Investigating the epileptic networks: Clinical practice which may give rise to different epileptiform activities and clinical symptoms This idea has deep implications for clinicians and neuroscientists, since accurate localization of network components is insufficient for fully describing the pathophysiology of epilepsy For such an endeavor, it is necessary to study time-varying network dynamics (Hala´sz, 2010) In order to illustrate the networks concept of epilepsy and the current techniques used in their investigation, we use the unique case of insular cortex epilepsy (ICE) The insula is a cortical structure located deep in the sylvian fissure and is hidden by the frontal, temporal, and parietal opercula Despite early reports on insular epileptiform activity (Guillaume and Mazars, 1949; Penfield and Faulk, 1955; Penfield and Jasper, 1954), insulectomy was not considered an efficient surgical approach (Silfvenius et al., 1964) until the past 15 years Patient series from Isnard et al (2004) and Ryvlin and Kahane (2005) demonstrated that insular ENs include temporal, frontal, and parietal structures and that the sequence of clinical symptoms associated with insular seizures can be explained by their patterns of propagation Throughout this chapter, we will present multimodal investigation techniques used both for localizing the components of ENs and characterizing their architectures, with emphasis on ICE Section presents the investigation techniques that are routinely used in most epilepsy centers for imaging the epileptogenic brain tissues Section presents new experimental investigation techniques that promise enhanced imaging and understanding of ENs INVESTIGATING THE EPILEPTIC NETWORKS: CLINICAL PRACTICE 2.1 PRESURGICAL INVESTIGATION TECHNIQUES 2.1.1 icEEG The gold standard in the localization of the anatomical components of epileptogenic networks consists of direct recordings of neuroelectric activity through electrodes in contact with brain tissue icEEG records local field potentials that are generated by neural populations within a 0.5–3 mm radius from the tip of the electrode (Juergens et al., 1999; Mitzdorf, 1987); thus, achieving the highest spatial resolution among all neuroimaging techniques used in clinic The downside of such high resolution is obviously poor spatial coverage, since only a limited number of electrodes can be used without risking cerebral hemorrhage or neurological deficits (Wong et al., 2009) It is thus possible that the epileptogenic zone is not sampled by icEEG, leading to the wrong selection of surgical target ICE provides an ideal illustration of this issue Insufficient insular coverage in patients with ICE was associated with a significant proportion of failed TLE, FLE, and PLE surgeries Initially, suspicions were raised by a study on patients with TLE with atypical clinical symptoms that were instead associated with insular activity (Aghakhani et al., 2004) Despite successive resections (up to four) of anterior temporal, mesiotemporal, and parietotemporal structures, CHAPTER Insular cortex epileptic networks patients continued having seizures Unfortunately, no electrode sampled the insula in their study although insular hyperperfusion was clearly shown in one patient The potential benefit from icEEG recordings in the insula in TLE was further demonstrated, as about 10% of patients diagnosed with TLE suffered from ICE (Isnard et al., 2004) TLE-like symptoms in those patients were explained by secondary propagation of ictal activity to surrounding temporal structures Similar conclusions were drawn by some studies on PLE and FLE (Roper et al., 1993; Ryvlin et al., 2006) Based on these reports, our group lowered its decision threshold for insular implantations with depth electrodes in patients with nonlesional TLE, FLE, and PLE On a series of 18 patients meeting these criteria, we found that 40% patients who underwent icEEG recordings had seizures originating from the insula In addition, electrical stimulation of the insula proved that insular epileptic discharges replicate semiology of various extrainsular epilepsies (Nguyen et al., 2009) Our findings, along with existing literature on this issue suggest that (1) ICE is probably more prevalent than presently reported; more extensive studies must be conducted to determine its frequency, (2) despite extensive presurgical workups, nonlesional ICE is probably rarely detected, accounting for a significant proportion of failed epilepsy surgeries We further review the different investigation techniques used in presurgical workups and discuss their value for detecting ICE 2.1.2 EEG EEG is probably the oldest and most widely used imaging modality in clinical investigations of brain pathologies, including epilepsy Over the years, epileptologists developed expert skills in reading and interpreting EEG seizures, but also waveforms observed during the interictal state, such as spikes, polyspikes, spikeand-wave complexes, sharp waves, paroxysmal fast activity (Westmoreland, 1998), and high-frequency oscillations (Bragin et al., 1999) Advanced biophysical models and computerized techniques allow unprecedented accuracy in the localization of those waveforms, as most advanced algorithms can theoretically reach a 10 cm2 resolution (Grova et al., 2006), thus enabling “electrical source imaging” (ESI) ESI relies on a biophysical model that relates neural electrical activity, modeled as a finite number of equivalent current dipoles (ECD), to electrical potentials recorded outside the head We distinguish two broad classes of ESI techniques, according to the number ECD used for modeling brain activity Single ECDs assume recorded electrical potentials are generated by a single (or a few) neural point source(s) Although this approach obviously oversimplifies neural generators and its numerical implementation requires strong heuristics (number of dipoles, initialization), it proved valuable in epilepsy when careful attention is paid to its limitations, as validated by simultaneous EEG and icEEG recordings (Boon et al., 2002; Ebersole, 1991; Roth et al., 1997) In general, all studies report usefulness of sECD for epilepsy, with sensitivity and specificity exceeding, respectively, 80% and 60% for the vast majority of studies (see Kaiboriboon et al., 2012, for a review) In turn, distributed source modeling (DSM) models neural sources with a large number of ECDs homogenously distributed in the brain Despite this mathematical challenge imposed by the large number of sources, DSM is increasingly being References Baldelli, P., Hernandez-Guijo, J.M., Carabelli, V., Carbone,
