To specify indications for differentiated therapy, a study was made of the characteristic features of the psychopathological picture of the interictal period of migraine in 50 women aged 28 to 60 years suffering from different forms of migrainous attacks. Besides, the neuropsychic disorders were also examined in those patients' children. The first group was made up of migraine patients in whom paroxysmal psychic disorders resembling convulsion-free epileptic attacks ranked first in the clinical structure of the interictal period. In the second group patients, of paramount importance was the hysterical symptomatology. The third group patients suffered from somatized depressions. The differentiated therapy of psychic disorders of the interictal period favoured the deceleration of migrainous attacks in all the three groups patients.

Objective: Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE) is a relatively uncommon epilepsy syndrome, characterized by seizures closely related to the sleep cycle. This study aims to explore interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics in SHE.
Methods: We compared EEG data from 20 patients with SHE, 20 patients with focal epilepsy (FE), and 14 healthy controls, carefully matched for age, sex, education level, epilepsy duration, and drug-resistant epilepsy.

Background: Migraine represents a chronic neurological disorder characterized by high prevalence, substantial disability rates, and significant economic burden. Its pathogenesis is complex, and there is currently no cure. The rapid progress in multi-omics technologies has provided new tools to uncover the intricate pathological mechanisms underlying migraine.

Background: Catamenial epilepsy, which is defined as a periodicity of seizure exacerbation occurring during the menstrual cycle, has been reported in up to 70% of epileptic women. These seizures are often non-responsive to medication and our understanding of the relation between menstrual cycle and seizure generation (i.e.

Objective: Multifocal epilepsy is an important subtype of epilepsy, but it is sometimes difficult to recognise in general clinical practice. Distinguishing (uni)focal from multifocal drug resistant epilepsy is important when considering surgical resection. The presence of multiple discrete autonomous epileptogenic zones may limit surgical options to neuromodulation or palliative resection.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of epilepsy-related death, likely stemming from seizure activity disrupting vital brain centres controlling heart and breathing function. However, understanding of SUDEP's anatomical basis and mechanisms remains limited, hampering risk evaluation and prevention strategies. Prior studies using a neuron-specific conditional knockout mouse model of SUDEP identified the primary importance of brain-driven mechanisms contributing to sudden death and cardiorespiratory dysregulation; yet, the underlying neurocircuits have not been identified.
