A library of quantitative markers of seizure severity

Sarah J. J. Gascoigne et al.

Summary: Understanding fluctuations in seizure severity is important for treatment outcomes and assessing novel treatments. Current methods rely on qualitative interpretations, but quantitative measures would complement existing approaches. We developed a library of quantitative EEG markers to assess the spread and intensity of abnormal electrical activity during and after seizures.

Spike patterns surrounding sleep and seizures localize the seizure-onset zone in focal epilepsy

Erin C. Conrad et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of sleep and seizures on interictal spike rates and uses these changes to localize the seizure-onset zone. The results show that spike rates are higher before and after seizures and during sleep, especially in non-rapid eye movement sleep, which can accurately localize the seizure-onset zone.

A pharmacokinetic model of antiseizure medication load to guide care in the epilepsy monitoring unit

Nina J. Ghosn et al.

Summary: Evaluating patients with drug-resistant epilepsy often requires inducing seizures by tapering antiseizure medications (ASMs) in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU). The relationship between ASM taper strategy, seizure timing, and severity remains unclear. In this study, we developed and validated a pharmacokinetic model of total ASM load and tested its association with seizure occurrence and severity in the EMU.

The seizure severity score: a quantitative tool for comparing seizures and their response to therapy

Akash R. Pattnaik et al.

Summary: This study proposes a quantitative measure of seizure severity that incorporates EEG and clinical data, and demonstrates its application in guiding epilepsy therapy. The severity score is found to be associated with lower medication loads and better surgical outcomes. This scoring method improves the accuracy of epilepsy treatment.

A study of brain functional network and alertness changes in temporal lobe epilepsy with and without focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures

Liluo Nie et al.

Summary: The study found that patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and a history of focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (FBTCS) have more severe impairments in alertness and alterations in brain network topology. This suggests that disruptions in brain network function may underlie the impairments in alertness.

The importance of drug titration in the management of patients with epilepsy

Lawrence G. Seiden et al.

Summary: The titration of antiseizure medication to an optimal and tolerable dose is crucial in the treatment of epilepsy due to the variable response and multiple factors involved. Initiating therapy with a low dose and gradually increasing it is recommended to improve tolerability. Patients may require medication changes, and strategies for tapering the baseline medication or adding on therapy should be considered to achieve disease control with the lowest possible drug load.

Normative intracranial EEG maps epileptogenic tissues in focal epilepsy

John M. Bernabei et al.

Summary: Bernabei et al. constructed an atlas of normative interictal intracranial EEG recordings and found that brain regions generating spikes and seizures have different patterns of activity and connectivity compared to the atlas. Comparing EEG recordings to the atlas can reliably identify abnormal regions and guide invasive treatment for epilepsy.

Network analysis of preictal iEEG reveals changes in network structure preceding seizure onset

Stefan Sumsky et al.

Summary: Seizures are likely caused by abnormal network activity and synchronization. Changes in brain network connectivity may be the basis of seizure onset. A novel method of estimating network models from intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) data was used to study pre-ictal changes in network structure before seizure onset. The results showed an increase in network connectivity prior to seizure onset, starting in the seizure onset zone and spreading to other channels.

Addressing spatial bias in intracranial EEG functional connectivity analyses for epilepsy surgical planning

Erin C. Conrad et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of epilepsy on intracranial EEG functional connectivity and its ability to localize the seizure onset zone (SOZ). The results show that functional connectivity is reduced in the SOZ region and interictal data can predict the localization and laterality of SOZ electrodes. However, a predictive model based solely on functional connectivity without interictal spike rates did not significantly outperform a spatial null model.

The RNS System: brain-responsive neurostimulation for the treatment of epilepsy

Beata Jarosiewicz et al.

Summary: This review discusses the NeuroPace RNS System, the only brain-responsive neurostimulation device, and the results of multi-year clinical trials. Brain-responsive neurostimulation has the potential to be used for treating episodic neurological disorders with a neurophysiological biomarker of severity, and combining advanced machine learning with chronic ambulatory brain data collected by the RNS System could lead to personalized treatment for each patient.

Focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures are associated with widespread network abnormality in temporal lobe epilepsy

Nishant Sinha et al.

Summary: The study found that in patients with TLE and FBTCS, the whole-brain structural network is altered to a greater extent and more widespread. These abnormal networks may serve as an underlying structural basis or consequence of the observed greater seizure spread in FBTCS.

Would people living with epilepsy benefit from palliative care?

Benzi M. Kluger et al.

Summary: Palliative care is an approach aimed at improving quality of life and reducing suffering by addressing the needs of patients and their families. It is relevant to a wide range of diagnoses, including epilepsy, and can improve outcomes through complex symptom management, care goals, social and psychological support, and spiritual well-being. Further research, clinical, and educational efforts are needed to explore the unique palliative care needs of epilepsy patients.

230 days of ultra long-term subcutaneous EEG: seizure cycle analysis and comparison to patient diary

Pedro F. Viana et al.

Summary: This study describes the longest period of subcutaneous EEG monitoring in a 35-year-old female with refractory epilepsy, showing substantial agreement between reported and recorded seizures, although some clustered seizures were missed. Significant seizure cycles were identified at circadian and multidien timescales using circular statistics. This neurophysiological tool enables electrographic seizure monitoring and analysis of long-term seizure cycles.

The SANTe study at 10 years of follow-up: Effectiveness, safety, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

Vicenta Salanova et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy, showing favorable outcomes with stable results. Reduction in frequency of the most severe seizure type may lower the risk of SUDEP. The SUDEP rate with DBS (2.0) is comparable to other neuromodulation treatments for drug-resistant focal epilepsy.

John M. Bernabei et al.

Summary: Brain network models derived from electrocorticography and stereo EEG show distinct relationships in resected and spared tissue, highlighting the importance of accounting for spatial sampling effects when applying computational models in epilepsy surgery. These findings have implications for the treatment of epilepsy and neurosurgery, emphasizing the need to consider the effects of electrode type on spatial sampling bias.
