Abdominal epilepsy in patient of schizophrenia - a diagnostic dilemma
PublicationAbdominal epilepsy is a rare and uncomman cause of recurrent abdominal pain. It is commonly occuring in children, but rarely in adolescent and elderly. Paroxysmal episodes of abdominal pain with neurological symptoms like dizziness, lethargy, and abnormal electroencephalogram and remarkable response to anticonvulsant confirms the diagnosis. Here we present a case of schizophrenia, who has repoted with recurrent abdominal pain...

Interictal high-frequency oscillations in focal human epilepsy
PublicationPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Localization of focal epileptic brain is critical for successful epilepsy surgery and focal brain stimulation. Despite significant progress, roughly half of all patients undergoing focal surgical resection, and most patients receiving focal electrical stimulation, are not seizure free. There is intense interest in high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) recorded with intracranial electroencephalography as potential...

Pathological brain network activity: memory impairment in epilepsy
PublicationOur thinking, memory and cognition in general, relies upon precisely timed interactions among neurons forming brain networks that support cognitive processes. The surgical evaluation of drug-resistant epilepsy using intracranial electrodes provides a unique opportunity to record directly from human brain and to investigate the coordinated activity of cognitive networks. In this issue of Neurology®, Kleen and colleagues1 implicate...

Pathological and physiological high-frequency oscillations in focal human epilepsy
PublicationHigh-frequency oscillations (HFO; gamma: 40-100 Hz, ripples: 100-200 Hz, and fast ripples: 250-500 Hz) have been widely studied in health and disease. These phenomena may serve as biomarkers for epileptic brain; however, a means of differentiating between pathological and normal physiological HFO is essential. We categorized task-induced physiological HFO during periods of HFO induced by a visual or motor task by measuring frequency,...

Ripple oscillations in the left temporal neocortex are associated with impaired verbal episodic memory encoding
PublicationBACKGROUND: We sought to determine if ripple oscillations (80-120 Hz), detected in intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) recordings of patients with epilepsy, correlate with an enhancement or disruption of verbal episodic memory encoding. METHODS: We defined ripple and spike events in depth iEEG recordings during list learning in 107 patients with focal epilepsy. We used logistic regression models (LRMs) to investigate the...

Emotional experiences of family caregivers of children with Dravet syndrome
PublicationBackground: Since the psychosocial implications of Dravet syndrome (DS) are much more serious and far-reaching than in other types of epilepsy, caring for a DS child seriously affects the entire family. This study describes the emotional experiences of family caregivers of DS children and evaluates the way caregiving affects their perceived quality of life. Methods: An anonymous, self-administered...

EPILEPTIC BEHAVIOR WITH A DISTINGUISHED PREICTAL PERIOD IN A LARGE-SCALE NEURAL NETWORK MODEL
PublicationWe present a neural network model capable of reproducing focal epileptic behavior. An important property of our model is the distinguished preictal state. This novel feature may shed light on the pathologi-cal mechanisms of seizure generation and, in perspective, help develop new therapeutic strategies to manage refractory partial epilepsy.

Evidence for consolidation of neuronal assemblies after seizures in humans
PublicationThe establishment of memories involves reactivation of waking neuronal activity patterns and strengthening of associated neural circuits during slow-wave sleep (SWS), a process known as "cellular consolidation" (Dudai and Morris, 2013). Reactivation of neural activity patterns during waking behaviors that occurs on a timescale of seconds to minutes is thought to constitute memory recall (O'Keefe and Nadel, 1978), whereas consolidation...

Gamma oscillations precede interictal epileptiform spikes in the seizure onset zone
PublicationOBJECTIVE: To investigate the generation, spectral characteristics, and potential clinical significance of brain activity preceding interictal epileptiform spike discharges (IEDs) recorded with intracranial EEG. METHODS: Seventeen adult patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy were implanted with intracranial electrodes as part of their evaluation for epilepsy surgery. IEDs detected on clinical macro- and research microelectrodes...

Reactivation of seizure‐related changes to interictal spike shape and synchrony during postseizure sleep in patients
PublicationOBJECTIVE: Local field potentials (LFPs) arise from synchronous activation of millions of neurons, producing seemingly consistent waveform shapes and relative synchrony across electrodes. Interictal spikes (IISs) are LFPs associated with epilepsy that are commonly used to guide surgical resection. Recently, changes in neuronal firing patterns observed in the minutes preceding seizure onset were found to be reactivated during postseizure...

Caring for Children with Dravet Syndrome: Exploring the Daily Challenges of Family Caregivers
PublicationWhile Polish studies focus on the symptoms, causes and treatment of people suffering from Dravet syndrome (DS), much less is known about the situation of the family caregivers of DS children. This study was designed to explore the experiences, daily challenges and needs related to caring for DS children. An anonymous self-administered online questionnaire was developed. Thesurvey was completed by 75 family caregivers affiliated...
