Epilepsy with myoclonic seizures: electrophysiological and neuromorphological peculiarities

Abstract

Introduction. Recent electroencephalography (EEG) studies in epilepsy patients with myoclonic seizures have revealed distinct ictal and interictal discharges that rely on structurally and functionally interconnected cortical and/or subcortical networks. However, the neuroanatomical substrates in this type of seizures are insufficiently characterized.
