Epileptiform EEG activities of the centromedian thalamic nuclei in patients with intractable partial motor, complex partial, and generalized seizures

Epilepsia
M VelascoJ Vázquez del Mercado

Abstract

Centromedian thalamic nuclei (CM) epileptiform EEG activities were recorded in patients with intractable partial motor, complex partial, and generalized seizures through implanted recording-stimulating electrodes, used for seizure control. CM epileptiform activities showed either little or no correlation to focal surface cortical and amygdaloid activities in patients with partial motor and complex partial seizures: CM paroxysmal discharges were correlated to focal epileptiform ictal activities only during the contraversive movements of partial motor and complex partial seizures. In contrast, CM epileptiform activities were consistently correlated to widespread surface cortical activities and clinical symptoms of fully developed nonconvulsive and convulsive tonic-clonic generalized seizures; i.e., unilateral CM double spike-wave complex discharges significantly preceded (p less than 0.001) the contralateral CM and bilateral surface cortical discharges and symptoms of nonconvulsive generalized seizures. Unilateral CM fast-slow-fast paroxysmal discharges significantly preceded (p less than 0.005) those of the contralateral CM and bilateral surface cortical regions and symptoms of the convulsive tonic-clonic generalized seizures.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
