Topic: circadian rhythmicity

The occurrence of seizures at specific times of the day has been consistently observed for centuries in individuals with epilepsy. Electrophysiological recordings provide evidence that seizures have a higher probability of occurring at a given time during the night and day cycle in individuals with epilepsy – the seizure rush hour. Which mechanisms underly such circadian rhythmicity of seizures? Why don’t they occur every day at the same time? Which mechanisms may underly their occurrence outside the rush hour? I shall present a hypothesis: MORE - Molecular Oscillations and Rhythmicity of Epil
