Anterior thalamic nucleus local field potentials during focal temporal lobe epileptic seizures.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyze the local field potentials (LFPs) in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) from the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) during inter-ictal state and seizure state.

Method

ANT stereotactic EEG (SEEG) recordings were studied in four patients with focal temporal lobe epilepsy. SEEG data was classified as inter-ictal and ictal state and sub-categorized into electrographic (ESz), focal aware seizure (FAS), focal with impaired awareness (FIA), or focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure (FBTC). LFP was analyzed at 4 Hz, 8 Hz, 16 Hz, 32 Hz, high gamma (100 Hz), and ripples (200 Hz) using spectrogram analysis and a statistical comparison of normalized power spectral density (PSD) averaged during seizures versus pre-ictal baseline segments.
