What is the hertz range of slow-wave sleep that might just set these seizures off? And are they specifically in the temporal lobe, or is an entire-brain phenomenon?

[EDIT: Looking at the MRI included, the right prefontral lobe is showing this activity. Bizzare.]

Gryff,
Thanks for that info. I often wondered why sleep would often set off a seizure.
If you have other links, I woluld appreciate them

Thanks gryff... but I meant at what Hz in teh slow wave sleep pattern do these seizures begin?

I've sort fo taken up neuroscience...bad habit.

My thanks too, Gryff. I appreciate your research!

Interesting info on the EEG in regrds to seizure diagnosis. A friend's doctor insisted on an EEG on every visit. When the friend questioned what good they would be when the patient was not seizing, the doctor backed off asking to have the test performed.
I alwyas wondered why.
