A spike is a spike: On the universality of spike features in four epilepsy models.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Frequency properties of the EEG characteristics of different seizure types including absence seizures have been described for various rodent models of epilepsy. However, little attention has been paid to the frequency properties of individual spike-wave complexes (SWCs), the constituting elements characterizing the different generalized seizure types. Knowledge of their properties is not only important for understanding the mechanisms underlying seizure generation but also for the identification of epileptiform activity in various seizure types. Here, we compared the frequency properties of SWCs in different epilepsy models.

Methods

A software package was designed and used for the extraction and frequency analysis of SWCs from long-term EEG of four spontaneously se
