Herein is reported an anti-transferrin receptor antibody that specifically binds to human transferrin receptor and cynomolgus transferrin receptor, which comprises i) a humanized heavy chain variable domain derived from the heavy chain variable domain of SEQ ID NO: 01, and ii) a humanized light chain variable domain derived from the light chain variable domain of SEQ ID NO: 26, wherein the antibody has an off-rate for the human transferrin receptor that is equal to or less than (i.e. at most) the off-rate of the anti-transferrin receptor antibody 128.1 for the cynomolgus transferrin receptor, whereby the off-rates are determined by surface plasmon resonance, and whereby the anti-transferrin receptor antibody 128.1 has a heavy chain variable domain of SEQ ID NO: 64 and a light chain variable domain of SEQ ID NO: 65.

Certain aspects of the invention provide a system and a method for treating an epileptic condition or a tumor of the brain. In one embodiment, the method of treating the epileptic condition includes acquiring inter- and post-ictal imaging profiles and from the brain of the patient and determining an ictal propagation pathway based on the profiles. A volume of cortical activation is determined for each of a plurality of virtual electrode placement positions based on the ictal propagation pathway and the virtual electrode placement position. An electrode is implanted at a position selected from the plurality of virtual electrode placement positions, based on the volume of cortical activation at the implantation position. An electrical pulse is delivered from the electrode, where the electrical pulse is of a magnitude and duration effective to at least reduce the epileptic seizure.
