This concept suggests that there are two distinct spike subtypes with different generation mechanisms and contr asting implications for clinical management. This talk will revisit this c oncept from various perspectives: it will review the latest evidence indic ating that not all spikes are equal\, with some subtypes being more critic al for epileptogenicity than others. It will also discuss how spikes can b e used to address the longstanding issue of limited sampling in invasive i ntracranial EEG. Finally\, the talk will challenge the current paradigm th at focuses primarily on the recording of seizures\, highlighting how spike s and other seizure-independent biomarkers can indeed be valuable for epil epsy presurgical evaluation.\n\n\nThese seminar series are made possible t hrough the sponsorship of:\n\n\n\n \n DTSTART:20240919T200000Z DTEND:20240919T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Neuro Epilepsy Lecture Series - Red and Green Spikes Revisited: Is the Concept Still Valid?
