The article “Specific subcortical structures are activated during seizure-induced death in a model of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP): A manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging study” examined the changes of certain brain activities upon sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in a mouse model.
Understanding cause or changes in a brain with SUDEP is an area of major concern. This study is the first one to use a special type of MRI (called MEMRI) for SUDEP research to look at the activity changes in specific brain structures.
