Accumulated experience has delineated numerous distinctive electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns that are morphologically epileptiform but have no relationship to the process responsible for generating epileptic seizures and have little or no practical value for diagnosis. These anomalous patterns need to be distinguished carefully from the highly abnormal types of EEG activity that continue to have important diagnostic value.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
