PLEDs have been described mainly in adults, and are defined as repetitive periodic, focal or hemispheric epileptiform discharges (spikes, spike-and-wave discharges, polyspikes or sharp waves ...

These include spikes, sharp waves, spike-wave complexes and polsypikes in an EEG recording. However, seizures only occur occasionally, and unless a seizure is occurring, an EEG will not pick up ...

The typical EEG feature is 3 Hz spike and wave discharges. Sometimes the seizure may be generalized. There is usually no risk of cognitive decline with this type. Juvenile absence epilepsy .

A flair of energy in the brain in a dying patient who had “no blood pressure” or “heart rate” could be evidence of the “soul ...

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX), a leading neuroscience-focused biopharmaceutical company, today announced that investigational NBI-827104 did ...

Research by Cardiff University has uncovered the brain activity that underlies absence epilepsy, offering new hope for the development of innovative therapies for this disabling disease.

Ictal EEG features are numerous, and they include 3 Hz spike-and-wave discharges, as well as rhythmical slowing, spike-and-slow waves, polyspikes and diffuse background slowing (Figure 1). Absence ...

The anesthesiologist said the burst of activity called gamma synchrony — a type of brain wave pattern linked to conscious thought, awareness, and perception — was picked up on the EEG and ...
