ChatGPT helps pinpoint precise locations of seizures in the brain, aiding neurosurgeons

Epilepsy, one of the most common neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures, affects over 70 million people worldwide. In the United States, about 3.4 million people live with this challenging condition. Around one-third of the epilepsy cases cannot be controlled by medications. For those patients, surgical resection of the epileptogenic zone (EZ), an area whose removal can lead to seizure freedom—a period of time when a person with epilepsy experiences no seizures—can be an effective option to reduce or eliminate seizures.
