Brain Stimulation
for Epilepsy
In this study, participants will receive unilateral Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for treatment of epilepsy, with network-based stimulation targets specifically defined using a stereo-electro-encephalographic evaluation and chronic recordings using the Medtronic Percept™ primary cell (PC) Neurostimulator DBS System with BrainSense™ Technology. The hypothesis is that, compared to no stimulation or to standard duty cycle high frequency stimulation, epilepsy neuromodulation using low frequency stimulation and informed by network architecture in patients with epilepsy that arises in a hippocampus that also subserves memory - epilepsy in a precious hippocampus (EPH) - will result in a significant decrease in seizure frequency and severity, paralleled by a decrease in EEG spike counts and improved memory function.

NRTX-1001 Neural Cell Therapy
for Epilepsy
This trial tests if injecting special brain cells into the brain can help patients with hard-to-treat epilepsy. The new cells release a calming chemical to reduce seizures. Patients will also take medicines to prevent their bodies from rejecting the new cells.
