Development of spontaneous recurrent seizures accompanied with increased rates of interictal spikes and decreased hippocampal delta and theta activities following extended kindling in mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Interictal epileptiform discharges refer to aberrant brain electrographic signals between seizures and feature intermittent interictal spikes (ISs), sharp waves, and/or abnormal rhythms. Recognition of these epileptiform activities by electroencephalographic (EEG) examinations greatly aids epilepsy diagnosis and localization of the seizure onset zone. ISs are a major form of interictal epileptiform discharges recognized in animal models of epilepsy. Progressive changes in IS waveforms, IS rates, and/or associated fast ripple oscillations have been shown to precede the development of spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS) in various animal models. IS expressions in the kindling model of epilepsy have been demonstrated but IS changes during the course of SRS development in extended kindled animals remain to be detailed. We hence addressed this issue using a mouse model of kindling-induced SRS. Adult C57 black mice received twice daily hippocampal stimulations until SRS occurrence, with 24-h EEG monitoring performed following 50, 80, and ≥ 100 stimulations and after observation of SRS. In the stimulated hippocampus, increases in spontaneous ISs rates, but not in IS waveforms nor IS-associated fast ripples, along with decreased frequencies of hippocampal delta and theta rhythms, were observed before SRS onset. Comparable increases in IS rates were further observed in the unstimulated hippocampus, piriform cortex, and entorhinal cortex, but not in the unstimulated parietal cortex and dorsomedial thalamus. These data provide original evidence suggesting that increases in hippocampal IS rates, together with reductions in hippocampal delta and theta rhythms are closely associated with development of SRS in a rodent kindling model.

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.
