Neurons that fire together also conspire together: is normal sleep circuitry hijacked to generate epilepsy?
Beenhakker MP, Huguenard JR. Neuron. 2009; 62 (5): 612-32
Brain circuits oscillate during sleep. The same circuits appear to generate pathological oscillations. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of how epilepsy co-opts normal, sleep-related circuits to generate seizures.
