Termination of seizures by ictal transcranial focal cortex stimulation
Whereas high‐level evidence exists on chronic neuromodulatory effects of different brain stimulation approaches in reducing seizure frequency, evidence for acute antiseizure effects of electrical brain stimulation during seizures is sparse. As part of an

Brain Mechanisms of Altered Consciousness in Focal Seizures [PDF]
Consciousness is a central concept in epileptology, relevant to the understanding of both focal and generalized seizures. Within focal seizures, impairment of consciousness has long been considered as the main criterion differentiating complex partial ...

Dynamic imaging of coherent sources reveals different network connectivity underlying the generation and perpetuation of epileptic seizures [PDF]
The concept of focal epilepsies includes a seizure origin in brain regions with hyper synchronous activity (epileptogenic zone and seizure onset zone) and a complex epileptic network of different brain areas involved in the generation, propagation, and ...

Febrile Seizures in Idiopathic/Genetic Generalized and Self-Limited Focal Epilepsies
Objectives: Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common form of childhood seizures. Furthermore, idiopathic/generalized and focal/self-limited epilepsies present at the similar age-range. They usually have a favorable outcome.

Arousal and Consciousness in Focal Seizures
Impaired consciousness during seizures severely affects quality of life for people with epilepsy but the mechanisms are just beginning to be understood. Consciousness is thought to involve large-scale brain networks, so it is puzzling that focal seizures often impair consciousness.
