Sentinel Epileptiform Discharges Activating Two Seizure Networks on Intracranial EEG
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY: Sentinel epileptiform discharges (SEDs) are epileptiform transients preceding the onset of a focal seizure seen on scalp EEG. Despite their potential localizing value, formal study of SED has been limited. The authors report a patient with MRI-negative focal-onset epilepsy whose seizures on scalp and intracranial EEG were always preceded by SED. Although the location and morphology of the SED was invariable, the seizures after the discharge were of two clearly distinct types, each with different semiology and region of spread on intracranial EEG. This suggests that the SED played a role in activating two distinct seizure networks. A right temporal lobectomy with amygdalohippocampectomy was performed. The resection included both the region of the SED as well as the seizure-onset zone of the more common seizure type, achieving seizure freedom at 3 years after surgery. Further research exploring whether the localization of SED is a reliable indicator of the seizure-onset zone could aid surgical planning in patients whose seizures are preceded by SED.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
