Popis: Seizures have sleep–wake and circadian patterns in various epilepsies and, in turn, disrupt sleep and circadian rhythms. The resultant sleep deprivation (SD) is an exacerbating factor for seizures that sets up a vicious cycle that can potentially lead to disease progression and even to epilepsy-related mortality. A variety of cellular or network electrophysiological changes and changes in expression of clock-controlled genes or other transcription factors underlie sleep–wake and circadian distribution of seizures, as well as the disruptions seen in both. A broad understanding of these mechanisms may help in designing better treatments to prevent SD-induced seizure exacerbation, disrupt the vicious cycle of disease progression, and reduce epilepsy-related mortality.
