}Continuous spike and waves during sleep is an age-related epileptic encephalopathy that presents with neurocognitive regression, seizures, and an EEG pattern of electrical status epilepticus during sleep. Patients usually present around 5 years of age with infrequent nocturnal unilateral motor seizures that progress within 1 to 2 years to a severe epileptic encephalopathy with frequent seizures of different types, marked neurocognitive regression, and an almost continuous spike-wave EEG pattern…

The relationship between sleep and hormones, cytokines, and neurotransmitters, and steroids seem to work in CSWS syndrome via: enhancement of GABAA inhibition, suppression of IL-6, and by favoring rapid eye movement sleep which is seizure free.

Though the electroencephalography (EEG) changes did not meet statistical significance, they did show a trend of reduction in the percentage of time that the EEG was in spike and wave in slow-wave sleep, which suggests that clobazam and corticosteroids are the most effective medical therapies and higher doses of clobrazam may have more benefit.

- Psychology, MedicineBMC Neurology

It was found that sleep spindles increased dramatically with high-dose diazepam treatment, corresponding with marked improvements in cognitive performance, and the sleep spindle rate was anticorrelated to spike rate, consistent with a competitively shared underlying thalamocortical circuitry.
Investigating epileptiform activity associated with slow wave sleep
- Biology, Psychology
- 2014
A rat in vitro model of the epileptiform activity synonymous with nocturnal childhood epilepsies, that allows for pharmacological manipulation of receptor subunits linked to these disorders, is presented and it is proposed that the hyperexcitability responsible for the generation of the spike component of a spike and wave discharge is mediated by the lack of excitatory tone in 5-HT3 and nicotinic acetylecholine receptor expressing inhibitory interneuron subtypes.

The spike-related deactivations in structures of the default mode network are consistent with the concept of epileptiform activity impacting on normal brain function by inducing repetitive interruptions of neurophysiological function.

A number of factors, broadly termed ascertainment biases, likely contribute to the paucity of reports from North America and the greater recognition of the syndrome in Europe and Japan.

It is speculated that prolonged focal epileptic activity during sleep (as occurring in ESES) interferes with local SWA at the site of the epileptic focus, impairing the neural processes and, possibly, the local plastic changes associated with learning and other cognitive functions.

The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying this condition are still incompletely understood; recent data suggest that the abnormal epileptic EEG activity occurring during sleep might cause the typical clinical symptoms by interfering with sleep‐related physiologic functions, and possibly neuroplasticity processes mediating higher cortical functions such as learning and memory consolidation.
