by Yale University BOLD fMRI signals associated with SWDs in GAERS resemble human absence epilepsy. a Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) analysis of spike-wave discharge (SWD)-associated changes in blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal. Cortex shows mainly functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) decreases (cool colors), whereas the thalamus shows fMRI increases (warm colors). Values on both color scales indicate the magnitude...
