Abstract

Objectives

We investigated EEG features differentiating clinical seizures (CSs) from subclinical seizures (SCSs) to explore the mechanisms underlying the generation of ictal behavior in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE).

Methods

Peri-ictal state of power spectral density (PSD) within seizure onset zone (SOZ) and propagation zone (PZ) were compared between SCSs and CSs. Functional connectivity was analyzed using the nonlinear correlation coefficient h², outgoing links (OUT) and ingoing links (IN). The EEG epochs of CSs-early part and SCSs were equally divided into four segments to reveal dynamic EEG changes.

Results

During pre-ictal state, PSD at 30–80 Hz in SOZ was higher in CSs than in SCSs. The preictal OUT and IN values in SOZ at 30–80 Hz were greater in CSs than in SCSs. During CSs-early part, PSD displayed an initial increase in SOZ but a late increase in PZ, with enhanced high-frequency activity in temporal regions and increased low-frequency activity in insula.

Conclusion

The enhanced pre-ictal gamma activity within the epileptic network was able to distinguish CSs from SCSs. The unique temporospatial alterations within the epileptic network drive the expression of ictal behavior in mTLE.

Significance

The distinct EEG features between SCSs and CSs offer transformative insights into the mechanisms driving ictal behavior.

期刊介绍： As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology. Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
