Cellular and Network Mechanisms of Spike‐Wave Seizures

Blumenfeld, Hal·2005·Epilepsia

Abstract

Summary: Spike‐wave seizures are often considered a relatively “pure” form of epilepsy, with a uniform defect present in all patients and involvement of the whole brain homogenously. Here, we present evidence against these common misconceptions. Rather than a uniform disorder, spike‐wave rhythms arise from the normal inherent network properties of brain excitatory and inhibitory circuits, where they can be provoked by many different insults in several different brain networks. Here we discuss several different cellular and molecular mechanisms that may contribute to the generation of spike‐wave seizures, particularly in idiopathic generalized epilepsy. In addition, we discuss growing evidence that electrical, neuroimaging, and molecular changes in spike‐wave seizures do not involve the entire brain homogenously. Rather, spike‐wave discharges occur selectively in some thalamocortical networks, while sparing others. It is hoped that improved understanding of the heterogeneous defects and selective brain regions involved will ultimately lead to more effective treatments for spike‐wave seizures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
