Hippocampal seizures are a defining feature of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Area CA1 of the hippocampus is commonly implicated in the generation of seizures, which may occur because of the activity of endogenous cell populations or of inputs from other regions within the hippocampal formation. Simultaneously observing activity at the cellular and network scales remains challenging. Here, we present a novel technology for simultaneous electrophysiology and multicellular calcium imaging of CA1 pyramidal cells (PCs) in mice enabled by a transparent graphene-based microelectrode array (Gr MEA). We examine PC firing at seizure onset, oscillatory coupling, and the dynamics of the seizure traveling wave as seizures evolve. Finally, we couple features derived from both modalities to predict the speed of the traveling wave using bootstrap aggregated regression trees. Analysis of the most important features in the regression trees suggests a transition among states in the evolution of hippocampal seizures.

SEEG seizure onset patterns in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: A cohort study with 76 patients.

Neurophysiol Clin

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, PR China. Electronic address:

Objectives: In the present study with a large cohort, we aimed to characterize intracerebral seizure onset patterns (SOP) of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE), with or without hippocampal sclerosis (HS) as identified via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 255 seizures of 76 consecutive patients with mTLE explored by stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), including HS-mTLE (n = 52) and non-HS- mTLE (n = 24). Relevant results were obtained by a combination of spectral analysis and manual review.

Background: Manganese (Mn) is an essential metal that serves as a cofactor for metalloenzymes important in moderating the glutamate/glutamine cycle and other oxidative stress pathways. Typically, Mn is acquired through the diet, however, Mn overexposure can arise through drinking inadequately treated well water or inhalation of Mn-containing industrial byproducts. Mn toxicity disrupts dopaminergic neurotransmission resulting in a Parkinsonian disorder referred to as manganism.

Background: Presenilin 2 (PSEN2) is one of three deterministic risk genes that increases the risk of early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. People with PSEN2 variants have increased risk of unprovoked seizures versus age-matched unaffected individuals yet few studies have interrogated the contributions of PSEN2 on seizure susceptibility. Critically, PSEN proteolytic capacity may be a novel regulator of hippocampal kainate-type glutamate receptors (KARs), with PSEN deletion reducing KAR availability and synaptic transmission in vitro (Barthet et al 2022).

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive decline and increased seizure susceptibility due to brain damage and neural disruptions. This study examines the relationship between cognitive deterioration and seizure pathology in hAPP-J20 transgenic Alzheimer's mice, a model known for amyloid plaque deposition and heightened seizure activity.

Method: We observed hAPP-J20 mice aged 8 to 28 weeks using long-term wireless telemetry to assess hippocampal local field potential, sampled at 2 kHz.

Background: Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic risk factors for AD, including a single nucleotide polymorphism in the bridging integrator 1 (BIN1) gene that is present in approximately 40% of the population and has the largest effect size of the common AD genetic risk factors. While the association between BIN1 and AD has been established, the mechanisms by which BIN1 contributes to AD remain understudied. We previously showed that increasing BIN1 expression in primary hippocampal neurons increases neuronal excitability (Voskobiynyk & Roth et al.
