Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by synchronized abnormal discharges involving multiple brain regions. Focal lesions facilitate the propagation of epileptic signals through associated neural circuits. Therefore, in vivo recording of local field potential (LFP) from the critical brain regions is essential for deciphering the circuits involved in seizure propagation.

Article Synopsis
  • Intracranial electroencephalographic (IEEG) recording using subdural electrodes (SDEs) and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is essential for identifying the epileptogenic zone responsible for seizures.
  • SDEs are better for mapping surface seizure activity while SEEG allows for deeper brain exploration, with SEEG being associated with fewer complications and better overall tolerance.
  • The combination of both techniques may enhance the accuracy of seizure localization, and recent studies provide insights into when to use each method effectively in clinical practice.

Kindling is an electrical stimulation technique used to lower the threshold for epileptogenic activity in the brain. It can also be used as a tool to investigate electrophysiologic alterations that occur as a result of seizures. Epileptiform activity, like seizures and after-discharges (AD; evoked epileptiform activity), commonly cause memory impairment but rarely, can elicit vivid memory retrieval.

Study Objectives: Genioglossus (GG) after-discharge is thought to protect against pharyngeal collapse by minimizing periods of low upper airway muscle activity. How GG after-discharge occurs and which single motor units (SMUs) are responsible for the phenomenon are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate genioglossal after-discharge.
