Sleep spindles in the healthy brain from birth through 18 years

Hunki Kwon et al.

Summary: This study aims to establish normative values for sleep spindles across development by analyzing EEG data from developmentally normal children. The results show that sleep spindle activity varies with age and brain regions, and provide age- and region-specific normative values. These findings can accelerate the discovery and diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders by using sleep spindles as a noninvasive biomarker for cognitive function.

Source EEG reveals that Rolandic epilepsy is a regional epileptic encephalopathy

Elizabeth R. Spencer et al.

Summary: Rolandic epilepsy is a common form of epileptic encephalopathy characterized by sleep-potentiated inferior Rolandic epileptiform spikes, seizures, and cognitive deficits in school-age children that resolve by adolescence. Recent research suggests that there is a lack of sleep spindles, which are thalamocortical rhythms associated with sleep-dependent learning, in the Rolandic cortex during active epilepsy. This disruption in spindle activity extends beyond the epileptic cortex and may contribute to the broad cognitive deficits observed in this condition.

International League Against Epilepsy classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes with onset in childhood: Position paper by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions

Nicola Specchio et al.

Summary: The 2017 International League Against Epilepsy classification defines a three-tier system for epilepsy syndromes, with childhood onset epilepsy syndromes falling into three categories: self-limited focal epilepsies, generalized epilepsies, and developmental and/or epileptic encephalopathies. Identification of specific syndromes helps guide management and prognosis. This paper describes these childhood onset epilepsy syndromes, highlighting their seizure types, EEG features, phenotypic variations, and key investigation findings.

Focal Sleep Spindle Deficits Reveal Focal Thalamocortical Dysfunction and Predict Cognitive Deficits in Sleep Activated Developmental Epilepsy

Mark A. Kramer et al.

Summary: Childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (CECTS) is a common focal epilepsy syndrome, with unknown cause. Research shows a focal deficit in sleep spindles during active phase of the disease, an inverse correlation between spindle rate and spike rate, and that spindle rate predicts cognitive task performance. These findings suggest thalamocortical circuit dysfunction in CECTS, providing insights for potential treatment targets.

Treatment Practices and Outcomes in Continuous Spike and Wave during Slow Wave Sleep: A Multicenter Collaboration

Fiona M. Baumer et al.

Summary: In the US, benzodiazepines and antiseizure medications are the most common initial therapies prescribed for CSWS, but the study suggests that benzodiazepines and steroids are more effective than antiseizure medications. Treatment choice does not depend on baseline clinical variables, nor correlate with outcomes.

Diazepam induced sleep spindle increase correlates with cognitive recovery in a child with epileptic encephalopathy

S. M. Stoyell et al.

Summary: CSWS is a rare and severe epileptic encephalopathy characterized by cognitive regression and abundant sleep activated interictal epileptiform discharges. This study found a correlation between sleep spindle rate and cognitive performance, suggesting sleep spindles may serve as a physiological biomarker for cognitive dysfunction in epileptic encephalopathies.

Computational Evidence for a Competitive Thalamocortical Model of Spikes and Spindle Activity in Rolandic Epilepsy

Qiang Li et al.

Summary: Rolandic epilepsy is a common idiopathic focal childhood epilepsy syndrome that may be caused by disruptions to the Rolandic thalamocortical circuit. A computational thalamocortical model was introduced to study the sleep-activated epileptiform spikes observed in RE, revealing that these spikes can be triggered by reduced NMDA current or h-type current, and changes in inhibitory transmission in the thalamic reticular nucleus play a crucial role in mediating the dynamic between epileptiform spikes and spindles.
