The Default Mode Network and Altered Consciousness in Epilepsy
Behavioural Neurology, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 55-65, 2011., 2011 The default mode network has been hypothesized based on the observation that specific regions of the brain are consistently activated during the resting state and deactivated during engagement with task. The primary nodes of this network, which typically include the precuneus/posterior cingulate, the medial frontal and lateral parietal cortices, are ...

First Tonic-Clonic Seizure: Treatment and Prognosis
Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 1997 The outcome of immediate treatment (carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, or sodium valproate) or delayed treatment after a second seizure, in two groups of patients followed for a minimum of 3 years, was evaluated in a multicenter, randomized, open ...

Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures after Self-Limited Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes: A Case Series [PDF]
Annals of Child Neurology, 2022 Purpose Patients with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SLECTS) rarely experience generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) after remission, and post-remission GTCS has not been thoroughly described in earlier studies.

Epilepsy, Consciousness and Neurostimulation
Behavioural Neurology, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 75-81, 2011., 2011 Consciousness is often disrupted in epilepsy. This may involve altered responsiveness or changes in awareness of self and subjective experiences. Subcortical arousal systems and paralimbic fronto‐parietal association cortices are thought to underpin current concepts of consciousness.

Behavioural Neurology, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 83-93, 2011., 2011 The impact of epilepsy on Quality of Life (QoL) is well‐documented. The ability of epileptic seizures to alter the conscious states of patients is also well established. Although there is much research on the QoL of people with epilepsy, few researchers have looked specifically at the effect of sudden, unanticipated alterations of consciousness on QoL.

The GABA‐Withdrawal Syndrome: A Model of Local Status Epilepticus
Neural Plasticity, Volume 7, Issue 1-2, Page 9-18, 2000., 2000 The GABA‐withdrawal syndrome (GWS) is a model of local status epilepticus following the interruption of a chronic GABA infusion into the rat somatomotor cortex. GWS is characterized by focal epileptic electroencephalographic discharges and associated contralateral myoclonus.

Anticonvulsant drug actions on neurons in cell culture [PDF]
, 1988 Two actions of clinically used antiepileptic drugs have been studied using mouse neurons in primary dissociated cell culture. The antiepileptic drugs phenytoin, carbamazepine and valproic acid were demonstrated to limit sustained high frequency ...

Regional cortical thickness changes accompanying generalized tonic-clonic seizures
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2018 Objective: Generalized tonic-clonic seizures are accompanied by cardiovascular and respiratory sequelae that threaten survival. The frequency of these seizures is a major risk factor for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), a leading cause of ...
