Low-frequency electric cortical stimulation decreases interictal and ictal activity in human epilepsy
We previously reported that low-frequency electric cortical stimulation (LFECS) directly applied to the epileptic focus by means of subdural electrodes decreased the number of interictal epileptiform discharges in patients with intractable partial epilepsy. In the present study, LFECS was applied to the epileptic foci directly in four patients with medically intractable partial epilepsy through...
متن کاملElectrophysiological aspects of interictal and ictal activity in human partial epilepsy
Considerable attention has been paid in recent times to cellular and synaptic mechanisms involved in epileptogenesis. A number of in vivo and in vitro animal models are now available to study basic mechanisms of epileptogenesis and to select and evaluate antiepileptic compounds which could be potentially effective in human epilepsy. Although this approach has been useful for practical purposes,...
متن کاملIctal and interictal SPECT findings in childhood absence epilepsy
The purpose of this study was to investigate the informative value of single photon emission tomography (SPECT) in relation to the pathophysiological functioning of the brain during absence seizures and the origin of ictal discharges in idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs). Six patients with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) were selected for the study and two consecutive SPECT sessions were...
متن کاملPeri-ictal and interictal, intracranial infraslow activity.
It is widely assumed that the recording of EEG infraslow activity (ISA) requires direct current amplifiers. Yet, it has been shown during the past decade that conventional EEG systems can record activity between 0.01 and 0.1 Hz and that this frequency band contains additional information, especially in regard to seizure onset. To delineate the characteristics of background ISA, 24-hour scalp an...
متن کاملIctal and Interictal Electroencephalography of Mesial and Lateral Temporal Lobe Epilepsy; A Comparative Study
Background: Epilepsy is considered as one of the most important disorders in neurology. Temporal lobe epilepsy is a form of epilepsy including two main types of mesial and lateral (neocortex). Objectives: Determination and comparison of electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern in the ictal and interictal phases of mesial and lateral temporal lobe epilepsy. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectiona...
