Epileptic high-frequency network activity in a model of non-lesional temporal lobe epilepsy [PDF]
, 2010 High-frequency cortical activity, particularly in the 250–600 Hz (fast ripple) band, has been implicated in playing a crucial role in epileptogenesis and seizure generation. Fast ripples are highly specific for the seizure initiation zone.
