Abstract:Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures and may also have negative influence on cognitive function. In addition to ictal activity, the epileptic brain also gives rise to interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs). These IEDs constitute the diagnostic hallmark of epilepsy, and have been linked to impaired memory formation and negative effects on neurodevelopment. The neurophysiological dynamics underlying IED generation seem to resemble those underlying seizure development.Understanding the neurophysiolo… Show more
