Article Abstract
Auras are essential in preoperative evaluation and can provide valuable information for delineating seizure onset zones. Frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) is the second most common focal epilepsy, while a few studies have focused on auras in FLE. To better understand FLE, we analyzed the clinical characteristics, values, and limitations of auras in FLE. The incidence rate of aura in FLE was 37.9% in our study. We included 54 patients and 76 auras in 11 categories were reported. The rate of auras in the decreasing order are as follows: autonomic aura; emotional aura; somatosensory aura; psychic aura; cephalic aura; abdominal aura; whole-body sensory aura, visual aura; auditory aura; and vestibular and unclassified aura. A significant number of aura types can be reported by FLE patients; autonomic aura was the most frequent category and somatosensory auras are most likely associated with the contralateral motor areas.

German Neurological Society, Berlin, Germany.
Background: Recreational nitrous oxide (NO) abuse has become increasingly prevalent, raising concerns about associated health risks. In Germany, the lack of reliable data on NO consumption patterns limits the development of effective public health interventions. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by examining trends, determinants, and health consequences of NO abuse in Germany.

While Part I of this review focused on seizure diagnosis, classification, and treatment, Part II focuses on perioperative considerations for patients with seizure disorders. A detailed preoperative assessment is imperative as well as an in-depth understanding of the patient's medications and treatment modalities.

Transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) has recently emerged as a non-invasive neuromodulation method aimed at reaching deeper brain regions than conventional techniques. However, many questions about its effects remain, requiring further experimental studies. This review consolidates the experimental literature on tTIS's effects in the human brain, clarifies existing evidence, identifies knowledge gaps, and proposes future research directions to evaluate its potential.

New implantable and wearable devices hold great promise to help patients manage their seizure disorders. One proposed application is measuring the rate of interictal epileptiform discharges as a biomarker of medication levels and seizure risk. This study aims to determine whether interictal epileptiform spike rates (spikes) are independently associated with anti-seizure medication (ASM) levels and evaluate whether spike rates are a reliable biomarker for ASM levels.

Microtubule-actin cross-linking factor 1 (MACF1) is a large protein of the spectraplakin family, which is essential for brain development. MACF1 interacts with microtubules through the growth arrest-specific 2 (Gas2)-related (GAR) domain. Heterozygous MACF1 missense variants affecting the zinc-binding residues in this domain result in a distinctive cortical and brain stem malformation.
