A study on the epidemiology of incident seizures in patients with neuropsychiatric disorders [PDF]
Pharmacoepidemiology studies use and effects of drugs in large numbers of people. It thus allows the investigation and quantification of rare beneficial or adverse events of drugs used by the general population under “real-world” conditions ...

Causal hierarchy within the thalamo-cortical network in spike and wave discharges [PDF]
Background: Generalised spike wave (GSW) discharges are the electroencephalographic (EEG) hallmark of absence seizures, clinically characterised by a transitory interruption of ongoing activities and impaired consciousness, occurring during states of ...

Genetic generalized epilepsy and generalized onset seizures with focal evolution (GOFE)
“Generalized Onset with Focal Evolution” (GOFE) is an underrecognized seizure type defined by an evolution from generalized onset to focal activity during the same ictal event. We aimed to discuss electroclinical aspects of GOFE and to emphasize its link

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 ...

First aid for generalized seizures: modern approaches and opportunities for improvement
Background. Generalized seizures are often complicated by life-threatening health problems (such as airway obstruction, suppressed respiration and severe injuries) or observed as a manifestation of sudden cardiac arrest that determines a need for rapid ...

Bayesian multi-modal model comparison: a case study on the generators of the spike and the wave in generalized spike–wave complexes [PDF]
We present a novel approach to assess the networks involved in the generation of spontaneous pathological brain activity based on multi-modal imaging data.

Juvenile Huntington’s disease masquerading as progressive myoclonus epilepsy
Juvenile Huntington’s disease (JHD) has an onset before 20 years of age, and is characterized by behavioural issues, epilepsy, rigidity, bradykinesia and dystonia. It contributes to 0.5–5% of all Huntington disease (HD) cases.
