Transition to seizure in photosensitive epilepsy

Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) offers a highly reproducible model to investigate whether changes in neuronal activity preceding the transition to an epileptic photoparoxysmal response (PPR) may be detected. We investigated this possibility in patients with idiopathic PSE using MEG, as well as normal controls and non-photosensitive epileptic patients of the same age group. Spectral analysis of th...

Oligogenic inheritance in photosensitive juvenile myoclonic epilepsy?

The interplay of multiple genetic factors, as opposed to monogenic inheritance, is suspected to play a role in many idiopathic generalized epilepsies. This leads to a digenic or oligogenic inheritance model, which although rather simplified, may explain at least some of the clinical observations. Here we describe a family in which the clinical phenotype in the offspring can be explained by a co...

Seeing red Colour modulation and photosensitive epilepsy

what about colours? A few weeks back I was at a wedding reception. The hall got suddenly dark, and a coloured strobe light started illuminating the dance floor. I watched guests getting up on their feet to dance with the newlywed couple. Bless them. But I started feeling stressed and uneasy in my head (not least because I did not join in – largely due to my lack of dancing faculty). But the rea...
