Interictal Epileptic Spiking during Sleep and Wakefulness in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: A Comparative Study of Scalp and Foramen Ovale Electrodes

Abstract

Our data provide evidence of a discrepancy in spike distribution across different states of sleep and waking monitored by scalp and FoE recordings. We suggest that these discrepancies may reflect differences in archicortical and neocortical spike synchronization.
