Absence seizures in children and teenagers are generally considered relatively benign
because of their non-convulsive nature and the large incidence of remittance in early …

The default mode network has been hypothesized based on the observation that specific
regions of the brain are consistently activated during the resting state and deactivated during …

Consciousness is essential to normal human life. In epileptic seizures consciousness is
often transiently lost, which makes it impossible for the individual to experience or respond …

Generalized tonic–clonic seizures are among the most dramatic physiological events in the
nervous system. The brain regions involved during partial seizures with secondary …

Impaired consciousness requires altered cortical function. This can occur either directly from
disorders that impair widespread bilateral regions of the cortex or indirectly through effects …

Patients with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) often demonstrate impaired interictal
attention, even with control of their seizures. No previous study has investigated the brain …

Absence seizures are brief episodes of impaired consciousness, behavioral arrest, and
unresponsiveness, with yet-unknown neuronal mechanisms. Here we report that an awake …

Conventionally, epilepsy is dichotomized into distinct “focal” and “generalized” categories.
However, many studies have reported so‐called focal features among patients with …

Individuals with glucose transporter type I deficiency (G1D) habitually experience nutrient-
responsive epilepsy associated with decreased brain glucose. However, the mechanistic …

Advances in neuroimaging have greatly improved our understanding of human sleep from a
systems neuroscience perspective. However, cognition and awareness are reduced during …
