Fast ripples reflect increased excitability that primes epileptiform spikes
The neuronal circuit disturbances that drive inter-ictal and ictal epileptiform discharges
remain elusive. Using a combination of extra-operative macro-electrode and micro-electrode …

Pathological neurons generate ripples at the UP‐DOWN transition disrupting information transfer
Objective To confirm and investigate why pathological high‐frequency oscillations (pHFOs),
including ripples (80–200 Hz) and fast ripples (200–600 Hz), are generated during the UP …

High frequency oscillation network dynamics predict outcome in non-palliative epilepsy surgery
High frequency oscillations are a promising biomarker of outcome in intractable epilepsy.
Prior high frequency oscillation work focused on counting high frequency oscillations on …

Stimulation better targets fast‐ripple generating networks in super responders to the responsive neurostimulator system
How responsive neurostimulation (RNS) decreases seizure frequency is unclear.
Stimulation may alter epileptic networks during inter‐ictal epochs. Definitions of the epileptic …

Simulated resections and RNS placement can optimize post-operative seizure outcomes when guided by fast ripple networks.
In medication-resistant epilepsy, the goal of epilepsy surgery is to make a patient seizure
free with a resection/ablation that is as small as possible to minimize morbidity. The standard …
