Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Post-hypoxic myoclonus: Differentiating benign and malignant etiologies in diagnosis and prognosis
Neurological function following cardiac arrest often determines prognosis. Objective tests, including formal neurological examination and neurophysiological testing, are performed to provide medical providers and decision-makers information to help guide

Automatic epilepsy detection using fractal dimensions segmentation and GP-SVM classification [PDF]
Objective: The most important part of signal processing for classification is feature extraction as a mapping from original input electroencephalographic (EEG) data space to new features space with the biggest class separability value.

Epileptic drop attacks: More than just atonic seizures
Abstract “Drop attacks” are not officially defined by the International League Against Epilepsy. Seizures are characterized by a sudden loss of control over the trunk and posture, leading to falls and injuries, and resolving within a few seconds. Accurately diagnosing the type of seizure is usually difficult due to limitations in clinical documentation
