Epilepsy is among the most dynamic disorders in neurology. A canonical view holds that
seizures, the characteristic sign of epilepsy, occur at random, but, for centuries, humans …

Abstract Purpose of Review: The endogenous circadian rhythms are one of the cardinal
processes that control sleep. They are self-sustaining biological rhythms with a periodicity of …

Brain activity and connectivity alter drastically during epileptic seizures. The brain networks
shift from a balanced resting state to a hyperactive and hypersynchronous state. It is …

Objective Previous studies reporting circadian patterns of epileptiform activity and seizures
are limited by (1) short‐term recording in an epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) with altered …

Purpose To extend our knowledge and practical application of the concept of catamenial
epilepsy. Methods The review focuses on the impact of the NIH Progesterone Trial on our …

Homeostatic plasticity allows neural circuits to maintain an average activity level while
preserving the ability to learn new associations and efficiently transmit information. This …

Epilepsy and sleep disorders are considered by many to be common bedfellows. Several
sleep phenomena may occur during nighttime taking a wide variety of forms and which can …

Objective: To evaluate the relationship of sleep/wake and day/night pattern to various
seizure subtypes and epilepsy localizations. Methods: Charts of 380 consecutive pediatric …

Knowledge on the interaction between circadian rhythm and human epilepsy is relatively
poor, although if it exists, this interaction may be of value for better knowledge of …

Integrating the studies of epilepsy, neurosciences, computational neurosciences,
mathematics, physics, engineering, and medicine, this volume provides the first means to a …
