I. SCOPE & OBJECTIVE
To establish a precision neurosurgical mapping system that:
- Identifies epileptogenic zones (EZ) with sub-millimeter accuracy
- Differentiates resectable vs functional-critical tissue
- Integrates multi-omics + electrophysiology + imaging
- Enables SCF-guided surgical + adjunct therapeutic strategies
II. CORE SURGICAL TARGET ARCHITECTURE
Zone | Definition | Surgical Relevance |
Epileptogenic Zone (EZ) | Seizure origin | Primary resection target |
Irritative Zone (IZ) | Interictal activity | Secondary mapping |
Symptomatogenic Zone (SZ) | Clinical manifestation area | Functional correlation |
Functional Cortex (FC) | Critical brain regions | Must preserve |
III. SCF MULTI-LAYER MAPPING SYSTEM
3.1 Electrophysiological Mapping
Tool | Function | Output |
Scalp EEG | Global activity | Seizure patterns |
sEEG (stereo-EEG) | Deep brain mapping | 3D seizure origin |
ECoG | Cortical surface recording | High-resolution signals |
HFO detection | High-frequency oscillations | Epileptogenic markers |
3.2 Structural & Functional Imaging
Modality | Purpose |
MRI (3T/7T) | Lesion detection |
fMRI | Functional mapping |
DTI | White matter tractography |
PET (FDG) | Hypometabolic zones |
SPECT | Perfusion during seizures |
3.3 SCF Multi-Omics Integration
Layer | Contribution |
Transcriptomics | Gene activation hotspots |
Epigenomics | Epileptogenic fixation zones |
Proteomics | NMDA/GABA receptor distribution |
Metabolomics | Energy deficit regions |
IV. SPATIAL PRECISION MODEL (SCF)
4.1 Epileptogenic Gradient Mapping
Region | Characteristics |
Core (EZ) | High excitability, HFOs |
Transition Zone | Mixed activity |
Periphery | Compensatory inhibition |
4.2 Resection Boundary Logic
SCF Rule:
- Remove EZ + minimal transition zone
- Preserve functional cortex + critical tracts
V. FUNCTIONAL PRESERVATION MAPPING
5.1 Critical Functional Domains
Function | Region |
Motor | Precentral gyrus |

- Awake craniotomy with cortical stimulation
- Functional MRI overlay
- DTI-guided tract preservation
VI. SCF SURGICAL INTERVENTION STRATEGIES
6.1 Resective Surgery
Type | Indication |
Focal cortical resection | Localized EZ |
Lobectomy | Temporal lobe epilepsy |
Lesionectomy | Tumor/scar-related |
6.2 Disconnective Surgery
Type | Function |
Corpus callosotomy | Prevent spread |
Multiple subpial transections | Preserve cortex |
6.3 Neuromodulation (Adjunct / Alternative)
Technique | Mechanism |
VNS | Vagal modulation |
DBS (ANT nucleus) | Thalamic control |
RNS (Responsive) | Closed-loop stimulation |
VII. SCF PRECISION DECISION ALGORITHM
Stepwise Logic
- Identify EZ (EEG + imaging)
- Validate with sEEG/ECoG
- Overlay functional map (fMRI/DTI)
- Apply SCF multi-omics validation
- Define resection boundary

X. POST-SURGICAL OUTCOME OPTIMIZATION
Parameter | Target |
Seizure freedom | >70% |
Functional preservation | >90% |
Cognitive stability | Maintained |
