The change in spike rates surrounding sleep and seizures differs between temporal and extratemporal lobe epilepsy. Spikes are more frequent and better localize the seizure onset zone in sleep, particularly in NREM sleep. Quantitative analysis of spikes may provide useful ancillary data to localize the seizure onset zone and improve surgical planning.
