A paper published in 2023 showed that burst suppression and epilepsy may share the same ephaptic coupling mechanism. [6] When inhibitory control is sufficiently low, as in the case of certain general anesthetics such as sevoflurane (due to a decrease in the firing of interneurons [7]), electric fields are able to recruit neighboring cells to fire synchronously, in a burst suppression pattern.

Status epilepticus (SE), or status seizure, is a medical condition with abnormally prolonged seizures.

This study can take anywhere from 1–14 days. The length of the study depends on factors like baseline seizure frequency, the number and type of seizure medications the patient is taking prior to the study, institutional protocols, etc. The goal is to record 3-4 typical seizures, though in some cases more or fewer seizures may need to be recorded.
