In vivo neuronal firing patterns during human epileptiform discharges replicated by electrical stimulation
OBJECTIVE To describe neuronal firing patterns observed during human spontaneous interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) and responses to single pulse electrical stimulation (SPES). METHODS Activity of single neurons was recorded during IEDs and after SPES in 11 consecutive patients assessed with depth EEG electrodes and attached microelectrodes. RESULTS A total of 66 neurons were recorde...
متن کاملHeterogeneous neuronal firing patterns during interictal epileptiform discharges in the human cortex.
Epileptic cortex is characterized by paroxysmal electrical discharges. Analysis of these interictal discharges typically manifests as spike-wave complexes on electroencephalography, and plays a critical role in diagnosing and treating epilepsy. Despite their fundamental importance, little is known about the neurophysiological mechanisms generating these events in human focal epilepsy. Using thr...
متن کاملRecruitment patterns in human skeletal muscle during electrical stimulation.
Electromyostimulation (EMS) incorporates the use of electrical current to activate skeletal muscle and facilitate contraction. It is commonly used in clinical settings to mimic voluntary contractions and enhance the rehabilitation of human skeletal muscles. Although the beneficial effects of EMS are widely accepted, discrepancies concerning the specific responses to EMS versus voluntary actions...
متن کاملEpileptiform Activity Patterns in Coupled Neuronal Networks
We evaluate occurrence of seizure-like activity in computational network models based on the histology of mammalian cortex. In the simulations, seizure onset activity in a network (active patch) is connected to a larger patch of cells (passive patch). The following scenarios were investigated: (1) the activeand passive patches are contiguous with all connectivity intact; (2) active and passive ...
متن کاملCorrelation Networks for Identifying Changes in Brain Connectivity during Epileptiform Discharges and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
The occurrence of epileptiform discharges (ED) in electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings of patients with epilepsy signifies a change in brain dynamics and particularly brain connectivity. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been recently acknowledged as a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that can be used in focal epilepsy for therapeutic purposes. In this case study, it is in...
