Abstract

A system may be configured for treating a patient with epileptic seizures. The system may include a therapy delivery system configured to use a set of electrodes positioned adjacent to a spinal cord or dorsal column nuclei and a stimulation configuration to deliver neuromodulation energy to at least one target neural pathway in or near the spinal cord. The at least one target neural pathway includes the dorsal column nuclei or axons projecting to the dorsal column nuclei. The dorsal column nuclei and the axons are somatotopically organized and project to at least one of a cerebellum, a thalamus or a brainstem, which include somatotopically organized nuclei and project axons to different areas of a cortex. The at least one target neural pathway corresponds to at least one of the different areas of the cortex in which the epileptic seizures were located.
