Epilepsy: The Quintessential Pathology of Consciousness
TLDR
A description of the phenomenology of ictal consciousness is provided and the underlying shared neural network, dubbed the 'consciousness system', which overlaps with the 'default mode' network is reviewed.
Epileptic qualia and self-awareness: A third dimension for consciousness
Brain mechanisms of altered conscious states during epileptic seizures
TLDR
Novel insights into the brain mechanisms that underlie alterations of consciousness during epileptic seizures are reviewed and the implications for clinical practice in terms of diagnosis and management are reviewed.
How to Assess Ictal Consciousness?
TLDR
A two-dimensional model consisting of concepts related to the level and the contents of consciousness will be presented, found to be well suited for the description of seizure-induced alterations of consciousness.
Neural Correlates of Normal and Impaired Consciousness
Consciousness is notoriously difficult to conceptually define and measure, despite being central to human experience in both health and pathology. In recent years, the combined efforts of researchers…
Distinct signatures of loss of consciousness during Focal Impaired Awareness versus Focal to Bilateral Tonic Clonic seizures
TLDR
Differences in the mechanisms of ictal LOC between FIA and FBTC are suggested and may account for the more negative prognostic consequences of FBTC and their correlation with electromyogram (EMG) channels.

“Altered State of Consciousness” (ASC) has been defined as a changed overall pattern of conscious experience, or as the subjective feeling and explicit recognition that one's own subjective…
Mechanisms Underlying Disorders of Consciousness: Bridging Gaps to Move Toward an Integrated Translational Science
TLDR
It is proposed that a fundamental step towards this goal will be to combine translational, multi-scale, and multimodal data, with new biomarkers, theory-driven approaches, and computational models, to produce an integrated account of neural mechanisms in DOC.

TLDR
Studies of the effect on attention of generalised seizure discharge are reviewed in terms of type of eeg abnormality, aspects of the learning situation and the influence of psychological factors on the occurrence of seizure discharge.
Psychiatric Presentations of Epilepsy
TLDR
The varied secondary psychiatric syndromes produced by epilepsy are elucidated by a consideration of normal functions of temporal and frontolimbic structures and clinical pictures provide clues to the causes of primary psychiatric disorders.
Auras, seizure focus, and psychiatric disorders.
TLDR
Auras occurred in a majority of patients with a treatment-refractory partial epilepsy who were hospitalized for assessment of their seizure focus for possible surgical candidacy, and two or more auras were associated with a psychiatric diagnosis as was the presence of an experiential aura.
Aura Phenomena and Psychopathology: A Pilot Investigation
TLDR
Investigating a possible relation between aura phenomena and psychopathology in patients with seizure disorders foundPsychosensory symptoms occurring in the absence of frank seizures, but not those occurring with seizures, were related to increased psychopathology and greater time in psychiatric treatment.
