    Hypothesis-driven thalamic SEEG is essential for optimizing neuromodulation strategies in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

  • 2

    Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) significantly reduces seizures and improves quality of life for patients not suitable for traditional surgery.

  • 3

    Thalamic neuromodulation strategies have emerged to treat both unilateral and bilateral seizure networks effectively.

  • 4

    StereoEEG must evolve to serve as a network-discovery platform for informing neuromodulation strategies and acute diagnostic plans.

  • 5

    Understanding specific thalamic nuclei's roles in seizure networks is crucial for effective treatment and improving patient outcomes.
