Leveraging epileptic network understanding to improve targeted treatment

Epilepsy is thought to develop through pathological connections involving various and widespread brain regions. A new study in PLOS Biology shows how some of these connections are formed across network sites, and how this interconnectivity can serve as a treatment target in epilepsy.
