SUDEP, the aftermath: supporting the bereaved [PDF]
Practical Neurology, 2017 Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is a recurring calamity, yet there is little evidence to guide standards of care for supporting the bereaved. Grief in bereavement includes loss, feelings of guilt, anger and blame. There is also the shock and trauma of the sudden event. How can this be alleviated?

Altered brain connectivity in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) revealed using resting-state fMRI [PDF]
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019 The circumstances surrounding SUDEP suggest autonomic or respiratory collapse, implying central failure of regulation or recovery. Characterisation of the communication among brain areas mediating such processes may shed light on mechanisms and ...

Proteomics and Transcriptomics of the Hippocampus and Cortex in SUDEP and High-Risk SUDEP Patients [PDF]
Neurology, 2021 To identify the molecular signaling pathways underlying sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and high-risk SUDEP compared to control patients with epilepsy.For proteomics analyses, we evaluated the hippocampus and frontal cortex from microdissected postmortem brain tissue of 12 patients with SUDEP and 14 with non-SUDEP epilepsy.

Archives of Neuropsychiatry, 2019 Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a devastating complication of epilepsy which was under-recognized in the recent past despite its clear importance. In this review, we examine the definition of SUDEP, revise current pathophysiological theories, discuss risk factors and preventative measures, disclose tools for appraising the SUDEP risk ...

Bradycardia is induced by hyperactivity of the vagus nerve and nucleus ambiguus during seizures propagating into the brainstem. [PDF]
Epilepsia OpenAbstract Objective Seizure‐induced bradycardia and asystole have been documented by video‐EEG monitoring periods in patients with epilepsy. This cardiac dysfunction during or after seizures may contribute to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Abnormal neurocardiac function during seizures could potentially be caused by seizures propagating to
