Spike and wave activity is detected by analogue circuitry which separately filters the spike and the slow wave components from the EEG. The filter outputs are converted to DC voltages, which are then compared with individually adjusted threshold voltages. A detector output pulse is produced when both the spike and the wave threshold levels are exceeded. A graph of the incidence of spike and wave activity per 15 min intervals over 24 h is plotted by a microcomputer and modified impact printer. The analysis is carried out at 60 times real time on EEG recordings obtained from unrestrained patients using a portable cassette-tape recorder.

Background: The emergence of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants challenges immunity, particularly among immunocompromised kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). To address this, vaccines have been adjusted to circulating variants. Despite intensive vaccination efforts, SARS-CoV-2 infections surged among KTRs during the Omicron wave, enabling a direct comparison of variant-specific immunity following-vaccination against Omicron BA.

The identification of spikes, as a typical characteristic wave of epilepsy, is crucial for diagnosing and locating the epileptogenic region. The traditional seizure detection methods lack spike features and have low sample richness. This paper proposes a seizure detection method with spike-based phase locking value (PLV) functional brain networks and multi-domain fused features.

Diverse sources of inhibition serve to modulate circuits and control cell assembly spiking across various timescales. For example, in hippocampus area CA1 the competition between inhibition and excitation organizes spike timing of pyramidal cells (PYR) in network events, including sharp wave-ripples (SPW-R). Specific cellular-synaptic sources of inhibition in SPW-R remain unclear, as there are >20 types of GABAergic interneurons in CA1.

Objective: To observe and measure the morphological and temporal evolutionary features of the hypersynchronous (HYP) pattern in the mesial temporal seizure.

Methods: The HYP patterns during preictal and interictal states of 16 mesial temporal epileptic patients were analyzed. The wave components of the HYP transients were firstly observed and measured.

The brain faces the challenging task of preserving a consistent portrayal of the external world in the face of disruptive sensory inputs. What alterations occur in sensory representation amidst noise, and how does brain activity adapt to it? Although it has previously been shown that background white noise (WN) decreases responses to salient sounds, a mechanistic understanding of the brain processes responsible for such changes is lacking. We investigated the effect of background WN on neuronal spiking activity, membrane potential, and network oscillations in the mouse central auditory system.
