Evaluation of thalamic SEEG links focal seizures to clinical outcomes, suggesting its limited use outside of research settings.
Gotman et al. argue that current evidence does not support the thalamus as a source of focal seizures, nor demonstrate that thalamic recordings aid in defining resection margins or improving neuromodulation efficacy. They conclude that thalamic SEEG evaluation should occur only as part of carefully defined research projects.
