Spike-wave discharges reflect widespread, but non-uniform, cortical hypersynchrony during immobility

Scott Kilianski, Elżbieta Dulko, Anna Grace Carns, Sakina Lashkeri, Magdalena Pikus, Mark P. Beenhakker

This study investigates spike-wave discharges (SWDs) in mice, showing they cause widespread cortical hypersynchrony, with varying effects across brain regions and potential behavioral influences.

Midline Thalamic Neurons Show Early Hypersynchrony During Absence Seizures in Mouse Models

Elżbieta Dulko, Scott Kilianski, Anna Grace Carns, Arya Rajesh, Isabelle Lesmana, Magdalena Pikus, Mark P. Beenhakker

The paper identifies early hypersynchrony in midline thalamic neurons during absence seizures in mouse models and shows that disrupting this activity stops seizures.
