Summary

This ClincialTrials.gov record originally corresponded to the protocol approved under IRB # 202370. The study was expanded to include stimulation and recordings approved under new IRB #211037, as well as IRB #251231. The participant data originally acquired from IRB# 202370 will be included in this new record: This study seeks to better understand the neural activity underlying neuro cognitive disorders. Resting state local field potential recordings will be collected from medically refractory epilepsy patients implanted with depth electrodes for seizure localization, and metrics of neural activity will be correlated with psychiatric symptoms as measured from questionnaires. Subjects will also participate in neuro cognitive tasks while neural recordings are performed, and/or receive neural stimulation through implanted depth electrodes. A better understanding of disordered neural activity underlying neuropsychiatric disorders may additionally contribute to novel methods for diagnosing, treating, and preventing these diseases.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study records brain activity in patients who are already undergoing a specialized brain monitoring procedure called stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) — used to locate seizure origins — to better understand the brain circuits involved in psychiatric disorders like depression, anxiety, and OCD. **You may be eligible if:** - You are already scheduled for SEEG monitoring at Vanderbilt University Medical Center - You are 18 years of age or older - You speak English and can complete questionnaires **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You are under 18 years old - You are unable to understand or respond to questionnaires Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
