Temporal heterogeneity in BOLD time-series in patients
with a suspect of a single epileptic seizure (first-fit)
has been compared to patients with new-onset epilepsy
and healthy controls. Known temporal heterogeneity
measures, including fractional amplitude of low
frequency fluctuations and regional homogeneity, were
used for time-series analysis. Results suggest that
particularly for the low frequency range, 0.02-0.09 Hz,
first-fit patients show decreased amplitude of the BOLD
fluctuations. These effects show that the analysis of
frequency fluctuations has potential to predict which
patients are at increased risk to develop epilepsy after
a single seizure.
