Interictal Spike Propagation Patterns in Adults with Epilepsy Evolve Over Time

Interictal spikes play an important role in the diagnosis of epilepsy. The propagation of interictal spikes elucidates seizure networks and predicts seizure outcomes in epilepsy surgery. An improved understanding of the temporal evolution of spike propagation will have implications for sampling times needed to capture the interictal network.
To determine the temporal evolution of interictal spike propagation patterns.
We prospectively collected intracranial EEG (iEEG) data from 46 patients with localization related epilepsy, implanted with a combination of grids, strips, and depth electrodes. We selected nine patients with frequent visually recognizable spikes. We analyzed the iEEG in the 24 hours surrounding each seizure using our published spike sequence detector. For each sequence, we calculated the direction vector between the mean location of the earliest activated electrodes to the mean location of the terminal electrodes. We compared these spike sequence-specific direction vectors across hour-long EEG segments using MANOVA.
The range of spike sequences detected per patient was 329 to 13,049. The number of electrodes accounting for 90% of the total spikes in sequences ranged from 20-79 (17-78% of all electrodes) across the nine patients. Spike propagation vectors varied significantly in the 24 hours surrounding seizures for eight of the nine patients (p = 0.02 - < 0.001). One patient had no significant change in the spike propagation vectors over time (p = 0.16).
Spike propagation patterns evolved from hour to hour for the majority of studied patients. This temporal change in spike vector trajectory suggests underlying variability in network dynamics over time and implies that at least several hours of iEEG data are needed to establish spike propagation patterns. Future work will focus on elucidating the mechanisms underlying the temporal evolution of spike propagation.
