Single-unit activity
• Spontaneous Activity
– Requires semi-chronic electrodes and long-term monitoring to capture at least one ictal event
– Halgren et al. 1977; Wyler et al 1982; Babb et al 1987; Engel et al 2005; Keller et al, 2010
• Stimulation-induced Activity
– Allows testing of neuronal responses in epileptogenic areas without having to wait for spontaneous events
– Current EPIDYN study in our centers UB+SUUB+SCUBA: intraoperative mapping of single-unit responses to stimulation
– Concurrent work: In vivo neuronal firing patterns during human epileptiform discharges replicated by electrical stimulation –King’s College, UK, 2012, Gonzalo Alarcón, Juan Martinez, Shashivadan V.

What do we know so far
Single unit rasters for 131 neurons simultaneously recorded during an ictal episode. One has to note the heterogeneity of the firing in the initial phase of the seizure (most active neurons are shown on top, while least active at bottom), as well as the common feature of a nearly complete firing suppression towards the end of the seizure.

Some neurons increase firing during seizures, some do the opposite

• Seizure 1 in Patient C had a relatively short duration (~ 11 s). Heterogeneous spiking behavior is most prominent during the first 5 seconds of the seizure. During the second half of the seizure, several synchronized bursts of activity can also be seen in the population spike rate and in the percentage of active neurons, synchronous with the repetitive discharges seen in EEG recordings. These bursts, interspaced with brief silences, resemble failed seizure terminations. After a postictal silence lasting ~ 5 s, a brief period of higher activity follows. Truccolo et al, Nature Neuroscience, 2011 (doi:10.1038/nn.2782)

• Seizure 1 in Patient D appeared as a very mild event at the microelectrode site. It can be hardly detected on the population spike count rate, in the percentage of coactive neurons or in the Fano factor for the spike counts across the population. Nevertheless, visual inspection of the spike rasters reveals two main neuronal groups: one neuronal group with a buildup in activity (starting around 20 seconds into the seizure) and the other with a decrease during the initial 30-40 seconds. Based on ECoG analyses, the seizure lasted for 43 seconds.

EPIDYN Study
• Intraoperative single-unit recording in SOZ
– SOZ was assessed based on detailed SEEG investigations
– previous studies were not necessarily recording in SOZ, as
its location was not known at the time of the implantation
– responses to repetitive stimulation of different frequencies
and amplitudes
– analyzing responses during stimulation by performing
stimulus artifact suppression
