Psychological Symptoms and Clinical Indicators in Patients With and Without Sleepiness Suffering From Epileptic and Non-Epileptic Seizures

Background: Sleep and seizures can affect each other in different ways. Meanwhile, sleep disorders are among the most frequent complaints of patients with epileptic and non-epileptic seizures, with various health outcomes. Objective This study aimed to investigate the psychological symptoms and clinical indicators in patients with/without sleepiness with epileptic/non-epileptic seizures. Meth...

Neuro-anatomical differences among epileptic and non-epileptic déjà-vu.

OBJECTIVE Dèjà-vù (DV) can occur as a seizure of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and in almost 80% of healthy individuals. The remarkable similarity between epileptic DV and DV in healthy individuals raises the possibility that DV might sometimes be an ictal phenomenon in apparently normal individuals. Thus, we studied a group of healthy subjects versus individuals with benign MTLE (bMTLE)...

Identifying the Epileptic Network

often considered the prototypical generalized seizure, is actually a fast-spreading localized event. In a similar vein, Leite et al. (2) propose a novel method for linkage of EEG and fMRI signals in network analysis by describing in their report a “transfer function” between these divergent measures. They perform independent component analysis of EEG and extract metrics that express models of E...

It is certainly true that perhaps the majority of epileptics manage to come to terms with their disability, establishing a routine of life for themselves and settling in permanent employment, sometimes of a highly responsible nature.
