Description
Mohammad Alisali and co-authors published a 2024 case study of a rare kind of seizure that strikes as a person wakes. In these hypnopompic seizures, arousal from sleep is itself the main sign. Pinpointing where in the brain they start is hard, and often needs electrodes placed deep inside the brain. The patient was a twenty-three-year-old man whose seizures resisted drugs.
Deep recordings caught several of his seizures as they began. They started in a folded region at the front underside of the brain, then spread within seconds to nearby memory and emotion areas. Waking followed about four to five seconds after the brain signal began, and his breathing briefly stopped at the peak. Surgeons removed the starting region and part of the nearby temporal lobe. He has stayed free of seizures for over seven months. The case names a new candidate site for this seizure type.
