Sleep EEG, Epilepsy and Polysomnogram in Autism and Autism Variants: Highlights of 2016 “Autism: Challenges and Solutions” International Conference in Moscow
نویسنده
چکیده
Various presenters, including the undersigned, described the fact that autism itself is associated with increased risk of epilepsy. In addition, interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) are quite frequent (6–61%), and epilepsy is said to occur in approximately 5–30 percent of individuals on the spectrum. It is felt that the yield of epileptiform discharges increases during prolonged sleep. However, it is unclear as to whether or not these EEG discharges are in anyway causally related to the defects noted in the autism spectrum disorders.

متن کاملP 138: Improving Neuroplasticity Through Neuroinflammation Pathways as a Therapeutic Goal in the Treatment of Autism
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity allows the neurons in the brain to compensate injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment. At the other side, it is now well established that neuronal function is strongly influenced by both central ...
