Article Synopsis
- Depression is common among epilepsy patients, and their brain activity can reveal links between epilepsy and depression symptoms.
- A study analyzed brain recordings from 34 epilepsy patients to correlate brain activity patterns (spectral power and phase amplitude coupling) with depressive symptoms assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-II.
- An elevated phase amplitude coupling signal was found in patients with high depression scores, particularly in brain regions associated with depression, indicating that this could serve as a biomarker for comorbid depression and a target for neuromodulation treatments.
Purpose: Compare the detection rate of seizures on scalp EEG with simultaneous intracranial stereo EEG (SEEG) recordings.
Methods: Twenty-seven drug-resistant epilepsy patients undergoing SEEG with simultaneous scalp EEG as part of their surgical work-up were included. A total of 172 seizures were captured.
Routine physical fitness improves health and psychosocial well-being of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The current study investigated impact of physical fitness on quality of life by comparing individuals who maintain a physically active lifestyle with those who do not report exercising. We assessed several indicators of quality of life, including inclusion and community participation; satisfaction with professional services, home life, and day activities; dignity, rights, and respect received from others; fear; choice and control; and family satisfaction.
