Outline of Final Research Achievements

We clarified the correlation between the results of intracranial electroencephalography using SEEG and electrocardiogram changes. We also examined the correlation between intraoperative ECoG findings and HFO, and demonstrated the validity of the evaluation of hippocampal epileptogenicity via the parahippocampal gyrus ECoG, as well as the validity of HFO analysis. We also clarified the effects of sevoflurane anesthetics on intraoperative EEG (Orihara, Inaji Epilepsy Res. 2022).We are also considering introducing machine learning into EEG analysis methods, and created a diagnostic algorithm based on machine learning using trauma patients. (Abe, Inaji et.al Netw Open 2022) In a three-year research period, we were able to demonstrate the application of epilepsy and electrocardiogram changes to seizure prediction and the effects on electrocardiogram abnormalities.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

てんかん発作と心電図の関係を明らかにすることは、心電図を用いた発作予知の実用化につながる他、SUDEPの解明につながると考えられる。このために皮質脳波におけるHFOや麻酔薬の影響を明らかにする必要があった。また機械学習の方法論はてんかん以外の脳外科疾患にも実用が可能であり、我々は頭部外傷の予後予測アルゴリズムなどに適応することを示した。
