Significance Understanding the neural basis of face perception, arguably most important visual function for human social ecology, is utmost importance. With an original fast periodic stimulation approach, we provide a comprehensive quantification selective brain responses to faces throughout ventral stream with direct recordings in gray matter. Selective are distributed whole occipito-temporal cortex, right hemispheric and regional specialization supporting two decades indirect activity...
Significance The left ventral occipito-temporal cortex (VOTC) is a critical part of the reading circuitry. We made measurements with intracerebral electrodes in 37 participants to understand whether this region contains functionally separated brain loci for processing letters and words. Letter-selective responses are found much VOTC. Responses word forms absent posterior VOTC but present intermingled letter-specific anterior results inconsistent hierarchical model which regions uniquely...
In-vivo measurements of human brain tissue conductivity at body temperature were conducted using focal electrical currents injected through intracerebral multicontact electrodes. A total 1,421 in 15 epileptic patients (age: 28 ± 10) a radiofrequency generator (50 kHz current injection) analyzed. Each contact pair was classified as being from healthy (gray matter, n = 696; white 530) or pathological (epileptogenic zone, 195) neuroimaging analysis the local environment and EEG recordings....
Summary Objective Delineation of the epileptogenic zone ( EZ ) in refractory epilepsy related to malformations cortical development MCDs often requires intracranial electroencephalography EEG) recordings, especially cases negative magnetic resonance imaging MRI) or discordant MRI and video‐ EEG findings. It is therefore crucial promote noninvasive methods such as electrical source ESI ). We aimed (1) analyze localization concordance derived from interictal discharges estimated by stereo‐EEG...
Parkinson's disease (PD), the most common basal ganglia degenerative disease, affects balance control, especially when patients change strategy during postural tasks. Bilateral chronic stimulation of subthalamic nucleus (STN) is therapeutically useful in advanced PD, and reduces motor signs patients. Nevertheless, effects STN on control are still debatable.To assess impact bilateral PD to determine how related sensorimotor modifications act neurosensorial organisation programming.Twelve...
Background Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) has been proposed to treat chronic medically-intractable cluster headache (iCCH) in small series of cases without evaluation its functional and emotional impacts. Methods We report the multidimensional outcome a large observational study iCCH patients, treated by ONS within nationwide multidisciplinary network ( https://clinicaltrials.gov NCT01842763), with one-year follow-up. Prospective was performed before surgery, then three 12 months after....
Human face perception requires a network of brain regions distributed throughout the occipital and temporal lobes with right hemisphere advantage. Present theories consider this as either processing hierarchy beginning inferior gyrus (occipital area; IOG-faces/OFA) or multiple-route nonhierarchical components. The former predicts that removing IOG-faces/OFA will detrimentally affect downstream stages, whereas latter does not. We tested prediction in human patient (Patient S.P.) requiring...
Abstract The sudden onset of a face image leads to prominent face‐selective response in human scalp electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, peaking 170 ms after stimulus at occipito–temporal (OT) sites: the N170 (or M170 magnetoencephalography). According widely held view, main cortical source lies fusiform gyrus (FG), whereas posteriorly located inferior occipital (IOG) would rather generate earlier responses. Here, we report neural responses upright and inverted faces recorded unique...
Abstract BACKGROUND The exploration of the insula in pre-surgical evaluation epilepsy is considered to be associated with a high vascular risk resulting an incomplete insular cortex. OBJECTIVE To report retrospective observational study using stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) transopercular and parasagittal oblique intracerebral electrodes from January 2008 2016. first purpose this was evaluate surgical risks cortex sEEG exploration. second define ability placing contacts whole METHODS...
Brain regions located between the right fusiform face area (FFA) in middle gyrus and temporal pole may play a critical role human identity recognition but their investigation is limited by large signal drop-out functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Here we report an original case who suddenly unable to recognize of faces when electrically stimulated on focal location inside this intermediate region anterior gyrus. The reliable transient deficit occurs without any change percept, even...
Abstract Intracranial EEG (iEEG) is increasingly used in many fields of human cognitive neuroscience since it offers a unique opportunity to directly record brain activity from awake humans at high spatial and temporal resolution. However, little known about the influence reference montage on characteristics iEEG activity. Here, we compare profiles neural for five montages (scalp reference, common average, zero local Bipolar Laplacian) applied large dataset depth electrodes...
The relationship between Blood-Oxygen-Level-Dependent (BOLD) responses in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and increases or decreases neural firing rate across human brain regions, especially the association cortex, remains largely unknown. Here, we contrast direct measures of neuronal activity two adjacent regions fusiform gyrus (FG) associated with fMRI (lateral FG portion) (medial same category-selective activity. In both individual brains tested multiple recording sessions, a...

Electrical brain stimulation can provide important information about the functional organization of human visual cortex. Here, we report phenomena evoked by a large number (562) intracerebral electrical stimulations performed at low-intensity with depth electrodes implanted in occipito-parieto-temporal cortex 22 epileptic patients. Focal primarily hallucinations various complexities: simple (spot or blob), intermediary (geometric forms), complex meaningful shapes (faces); illusions and...
