Description
Yuanfeng Zhou and eleven co-authors present a 2026 case report of brain surgery for epilepsy in a child, guided by a new kind of brain scan. The scan uses light pumped sensors worn on the scalp to read the brain's magnetic fields. It can map both seizures and language zones, and it suits children well.
The patient was an eight year old boy whose seizures resisted drugs. The lesion sat in the left Broca region, a key speech area. The scan placed seizure signals in one gyrus and word making activity in another, drawing a safe line between them. After guided laser surgery, the boy was seizure free with no loss of language.
