Circuits generating secondarily generalized seizures [PDF]
Mapping the circuits underlying the generation and propagation of seizures is critically important for understanding their pathophysiology. We review evidence to suggest that circuits engaged in secondarily generalized seizures are likely to be more complex than those currently proposed.

The Role of Excitability and Network Structure in the Emergence of Focal and Generalized Seizures [PDF]
Epileptic seizures are generally classified as either focal or generalized. It had been traditionally assumed that focal seizures imply localized brain abnormalities, whereas generalized seizures involve widespread brain pathologies.

Recurrent generalized seizures as the prominent manifestation in a patient with CADASIL: a case report and literature review [PDF]
Background Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited arteriopathy typically caused by mutations in the NOTCH-3 gene. Few detailed descriptions of recurrent generalized seizures in

Cortical activation in generalized seizures. [PDF]
AbstractObjectivePatients with generalized epilepsy exhibit different epileptiform events including asymptomatic interictal spikes (IS), absence seizures with spike‐wave discharges (SWDs), and myoclonic seizures (MS). Our objective was to determine the spatiotemporal patterns of cortical activation in SWDs, IS, and MS in the Gabra1+/A322D juvenile ...

The cerebellum contributes to generalized seizures by altering activity in the ventral posteromedial nucleus [PDF]
Thalamo-cortical networks are central to seizures, yet it is unclear how these circuits initiate seizures. We test whether a facial region of the thalamus, the ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM), is a source of generalized, convulsive motor seizures and

Ictal MEG-EEG Study to Localize the Onset of Generalized Seizures: To See Beyond What Meets the Eye [PDF]
Introduction: Patients with generalized epilepsy are rarely referred for advanced diagnostics like magnetoencephalography (MEG). This is due to the assumption that generalized seizures cannot be localized noninvasively.

Clobazam monotherapy for focal or generalized seizures. [PDF]
This is an updated version of the original Cochrane Review published in Issue 10, 2014. There is a need to expand monotherapy options available to a clinician for the treatment of new focal or generalized seizures. A Cochrane systematic review for clobazam monotherapy is expected to define its place in the treatment of new-onset or untreated seizures ...

Ictal body turning and version in generalized epilepsy [PDF]
Background Ictal body turning, also known as gyratory or rotatory seizures, involves unidirectional trunk rotation of 180° or more during a seizure and is generally associated with focal epilepsies, particularly temporal and extratemporal types ...

Learning to generalize seizure forecasts [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveEpilepsy is characterized by spontaneous seizures that recur at unexpected times. Nonetheless, using years‐long electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, we previously found that patient‐reported seizures consistently occur when interictal epileptiform activity (IEA) cyclically builds up over days.

Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus – an overview [PDF]
Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is characterized by a group of genetic epilepsies associated predominately with an autosomal dominant pattern, but also with de novo and autosomal-recessive inheritance, these last two found in a small ...
