Sleep and epilepsy are common bedfellows. Sleep influences seizures and epilepsy in terms of frequency and occurrence of interictal spikes and occurrence, timing, and threshold of seizure. On the other hand, epilepsy can worsen sleep architecture and severity of sleep disorders. Thus a vicious cycle...
Describes a generalized seizure associated with sustained-release bupropion use and sleep deprivation. Investigational medication for smoking cessation that used sustained-release bupropion as an active control; Evidence of a generalized tonic clonic seizure after staying up nearly all night packing and ...
Memory consolidation during sleep is thought to depend on the coordinated interplay between cortical slow waves, thalamocortical sleep spindles and hippocampal ripples, but direct evidence is lacking. Here, we implemented real-time closed-loop deep brain
Furthermore they underlined the inclusion of patients taking potentially seizure-threshold-lowering medications such as certain antidepressants, which is another explanation for the increased detection of epileptiform activity in the other studies. Additionally, Brunetti et al. used different, narrower ...
Lack of adequate sleep, or being sleep-deprived, can lower a person’s seizure threshold. What that means is that it’s “easier” for their brain to have seizures when they lack sleep. Many parents are nodding because our kids have had a sleep deprivation EEG done by our local neurologis...
Here we show, using flies and mice, that sleep deprivation leads to accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequent oxidative stress, specifically in the gut. ROS are not just correlates of sleep deprivation but drivers of death: their neutralization prevents oxidative stress and ...
resistance. Sleep dysfunction is also very common in those with NDDs who have epilepsy [124]. Epilepsy disrupts sleep, and sleep disturbances can also lower the seizure threshold [8]. Sleep disruption is also a common side effect of many medications used to treat co-occurring conditions across ...
The root folder contains a “participants” file containing clinical information such as participant age, sex and seizure onset zone (SOZ), and a readme file with a brief summary of the dataset. Within each patient’s folder, there are files for raw data, annotations, electrode information ...
sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality. Sleep apnea is commonly signified by loud snoring that is surrounded by periods of silence, which is when breathing stops, and is occasionally followed by making snorting sounds. Sleep apnea affects about 25% of men and nearly 10% of women in the ...
In this research it was concluded that sleep deprivation is an unprovoked cause of first seizures and had little or no influence on the likelihood of seizure recurrence. The study included a cohort of more than 1000 patients suffering from sleep deprivation in terms of both partial (50 per cen...
