The electrographic manifestation of neural activity can reflect the relationship between the faster action potentials of individual neurons and the slower fluctuations of the local field potential (LFP). This relationship is typically examined in the temporal domain using the spike-triggered average. In this study, we add a spatial component to this relationship. Here we first derive a theoretical model of the spike-LFP relationship across a macroelectrode. This mathematical derivation showed a special symmetry in the spike-LFP relationship wherein a sinc function in the temporal domain predicts a sinc function in the spatial domain...

INTRODUCTION: Epilepsy with myoclonic atonic seizures (EMAtS) was previously thought to occur in normally developing children. We report a female case of EMAtS and mild developmental delay before onset. Importantly, a de novo balanced chromosomal translocation was recognized in the patient. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 4-year-old girl. Mild developmental delay was observed during infancy. At the age of one and a half years, she developed atonic seizures once a month...

OBJECTIVE: Open corpus callosotomy (CC) poses a higher risk of perioperative morbidity than MR-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) for treatment of drop and generalized seizures without documented superiority. We present a single-institution comparison between open and MRgLITT corpus callosotomy. METHODS: A two-year retrospective review was performed on patients who underwent Open and MRgLITT CC (January 2019-January 2021). Demographics, surgical outcome data, hospital costs and interhemispheric connectivity with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were compared...

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the most useful technologies for brain research and clinical neurology, characterized by non-invasiveness and high time resolution. The acquired traces are visibly displayed, but various studies investigate the translation of brain waves in sound (i.e., a process called sonification). Several articles have been published since 1934 about the sonification of EEG traces, in the attempt to identify the "brain-sound." However, for a long time this sonification technique was not used for clinical purposes...

BACKGROUND & RATIONALE: The process to evaluate candidacy for epilepsy surgery is lengthy and stressful for caregivers, therefore the decision can be challenging. There is not a lot of information in regard to how families of a child living with epilepsy navigate the stressful decision during surgical candidacy evaluation. With difficult decisions comes the possibility of increased decisional conflict in both the child and the family. METHODS: A project designed to provide greater knowledge to the family was conducted utilizing the shared decision-making (SDM) process to assist families in the decision-making during surgical candidacy evaluation; this was done using a decision coach, who is an unbiased health care professional, providing families with evidence-based information and support tools while supporting them in making decisions based on their values...

Epilepsy is an important cause of morbidity and mortality especially in low- and middle-income countries. People with epilepsy (PWE) face difficulties in access to healthcare, appropriate diagnostic tests and anti-seizure medications (ASM). Bhutan is one such country in the Himalayas that has reported doubling of the prevalence of epilepsy from 155.7 per 100,000 population in 2017 to 312.4 in 2021. The country has one centre for electroencephalography and magnetic resonance imaging for a population of 0.7 million and does not have any neurologists as of 2023...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported inconsistent results on the association between circulating lipids and lipid-lowering drugs with the risk of epilepsy. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether genetically predicted circulating lipids and lipid-lowering drugs are causally associated with the risk of epilepsy outcome. METHODS: We performed a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis model to genetically predict the causal effects of circulating lipids (Apolipoprotein A [APOA] Apolipoprotein B [APOB], Cholesterol, High density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], Low density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], Lipoprotein A, Triglycerides) and lipid-lowering drugs (HMG-CoA reductase [HMGCR] and Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 [PCSK9] inhibitors) on epilepsy...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

BACKGROUND: In the cerebral cortex, disinhibited activity is characterized by propagating waves that spread across neural tissue. In this pathological state, a widely reported form of activity are spiral waves that travel in a circular pattern around a fixed spatial locus termed the center of mass. Spiral waves exhibit stereotypical activity and involve broad patterns of co-fluctuations, suggesting that they may be of lower complexity than healthy activity. RESULTS: To evaluate this hypothesis, we performed dense multi-electrode recordings of cortical networks where disinhibition was induced by perfusing a pro-epileptiform solution containing 4-Aminopyridine as well as increased potassium and decreased magnesium...

Calpains are a class of non-lysosomal cysteine proteases that exert their regulatory functions via limited proteolysis of their substrates. Similar to the lysosomal and proteasomal systems, calpain dysregulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease and cancer. Despite intensive efforts placed on the identification of mechanisms that regulate calpains, however, calpain protein modifications that regulate calpain activity are incompletely understood. Here we show that calpains are regulated by KCTD7, a cytosolic protein of previously uncharacterized function whose pathogenic mutations result in epilepsy, progressive ataxia, and severe neurocognitive deterioration...

BACKGROUND: Identification of convulsive epilepsy in sub-Saharan Africa relies on access to resources that are often unavailable. Infrastructure and resource requirements can further complicate case verification. Using machine-learning techniques, we have developed and tested a region-specific questionnaire panel and predictive model to identify people who have had a convulsive seizure. These findings have been implemented into a free app for health-care workers in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Tanzania, and South Africa...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: It remains unknown to what extent ictal scalp EEG can accurately predict the localization of the intra-cerebral seizure onset in pre-surgical evaluation of drug resistant epilepsies. In this study, we aimed to define homogeneous ictal scalp EEG profiles (based on their first ictal abnormality) and assess their localizing value using simultaneously recorded scalp EEG and Stereo-EEG. METHODS: We retrospectively included consecutive patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy who had simultaneous stereo-EEG and scalp EEG recordings of at least one seizure, in the epileptology unit in Nancy, France...

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a ubiquitous and highly conserved non-histone DNA-binding protein with different biological functions according to its subcellular localization. It is widely believed that HMGB1, which is released into the extracellular space, plays a key role in the inflammatory response. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that the development of various neurological diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebrovascular disease and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are inextricably linked to inflammation...
