“…In the context of the present review, inverse localization refers to the process of identifying the cortical sources of electrical activity which are responsible for generating the electric potentials measured at the scalp by EEG sensors [42, 43]. Illustrations which convey the gist of this technique are available in a number of textbooks [44, 45], journal articles [46–48] and peer-reviewed online sources [49, 50], which the reader is encouraged to consult. Briefly, inverse localization is performed as follows.…”

Pharmacologically intractable post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a major clinical challenge for patients with penetrating traumatic brain injury, where the risk for this condition remains very high even decades after injury. Although over 20 anti-epileptic drugs (AED) are in common use today, approximately one-third of epilepsy patients have drug-refractory seizures and even more have AED-related adverse effects which compromise life quality. Simultaneously, there have been repeated recommendations by radiologists and neuroimaging experts to incorporate localization based on electroencephalography (EEG) into the process of clinical decision making regarding PTE patients. Nevertheless, thus far, little progress has been accomplished towards the use of EEG as a reliable tool for locating epileptogenic foci prior to surgical resection. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology of pharmacologically resistant PTE, address the need for effective anti-epileptogenic treatments, and highlight recent progress in the development of noninvasive methods for the accurate localization of PTE foci for the purpose of neurosurgical intervention. These trends indicate the current emergence of promising methodologies for the noninvasive study of post-traumatic epileptogenesis and for the improved neurosurgical planning of epileptic foci resection.
