Article Abstract
We evaluate whether interictal spikes, epileptiform HFOs and their co-occurrence (Spike + HFO) were included in the resection area with respect to seizure outcome. We also characterise the relationship between high frequency oscillations (HFOs) and propagating spikes. We analysed intracranial EEG of 20 patients that underwent resective epilepsy surgery. The co-occurrence of ripples and fast ripples was considered an HFO event; the co-occurrence of an interictal spike and HFO was considered a Spike + HFO event. HFO distribution and spike onset were compared in cases of spike propagation. Accuracy in predicting seizure outcome was 85% for HFO, 60% for Spikes, and 79% for Spike + HFO. Sensitivity was 57% for HFO, 71% for Spikes and 67% for Spikes + HFO. Specificity was 100% for HFO, 54% for Spikes and 85% for Spikes + HFO. In 2/2 patients with spike propagation, the spike onset included the HFO area. Combining interictal spikes with HFO had comparable accuracy to HFO. In patients with propagating spikes, HFO rate was maximal at the onset of spike propagation.

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.

The data obtained from stereo-elecroencephalography (SEEG) in patients with focal epilepsy are crucial for defining the epileptogenic zone and achieving successful resection, but suboptimal electrode placement impairs SEEG results. We demonstrate an approach for concurrent scalp and depth EEG analysis from one patient with successful intracranial workup and one in whom the seizure onset zone was unsampled by SEEG. Intracranial epileptiform discharges were identified and clustered, their scalp correlates were averaged, and electric source imaging (ESI) was applied to the resulting averaged scalp potential - depth-to-scalp ESI (dsESI).

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent causes of dementia, characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. Abnormal electrophysiological patterns, especially interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) and high-frequency oscillations (HFOs), have been observed in mouse models of AD and are suggested to contribute to cognitive dysfunction. However, comprehensive evaluations of IEDs across different brain regions are limited, and their impact on cognitive performance and neuropathology remains unclear, particularly in more complex AD models with relevant comorbidities.

Objective: We aim to explore the association between enlarged perivascular space (ePVS) density and stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) biomarkers of epileptogenicity.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive SEEG patients from an Australian site. We automatically segmented ePVSs from 3T pre-SEEG T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and calculated ePVS (1) hemispheric, (2) sub-lobar, and (3) contact-level density.
