Sleep spindle deficits in childhood absence epilepsy improve with antiseizure treatment and disease resolution

This study examines sleep spindle activity in children with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) and finds that spindle rates decrease with active disease but improve with treatment and disease resolution.

Changes in slow oscillations and sleep spindles by auditory stimulation positively correlate with memory consolidation in children with epilepsy and controls

Auditory stimulation during sleep increases slow oscillations and SO-spindle complexes, which correlate with improved memory consolidation in children with epilepsy and controls.

Impaired sleep-dependent memory consolidation predicted by reduced sleep spindles in Rolandic epilepsy

This study finds that reduced sleep spindles in children with active Rolandic epilepsy predict impaired sleep-dependent memory consolidation.
