Pediatric Epilepsy Network Deviation

This Science Data Bank record holds the data behind a prospective, longitudinal study of brain network development in children and adolescents with epilepsy. The study compares each child's multimodal brain network organization with what is expected for their age, to find individual deviations. The record was deposited by Rui Wang of West China Second University Hospital and published in June 2026.

Composition

The record describes baseline clinical, EEG and MRI data from 150 children with epilepsy between 6 and 18 years old, plus clinical outcomes recorded after 12 months of follow-up. The access conditions also mention neuropsychological data. A reference group of 180 healthy children, matched for age and sex, served to model typical developmental trajectories of brain networks. The record does not say whether imaging of this reference group is part of the shared files. The deposit consists of 7 files totalling about 105.7 GB. The split by sex, the epilepsy syndromes and the file layout are not described.

Acquisition

The keywords name structural and multimodal MRI and EEG. The record does not list the MRI sequences, scanners, field strength, sites or file formats, so no contrasts are recorded here.

Known limitations

No data descriptor or study paper was found, so the cohort is documented only by the short record description. Access is restricted: the depositor reviews each application and decides alone, and use is limited to scientific, educational or non-commercial research, and the data may not be passed on. Ages and the healthy reference group are given only as a range and a total.
