Nocturnal motor events in epilepsy: Is there a defined physiological network?
CONCLUSION: We conclude that nocturnal movements are due to a complex interplay within this physiological network of defined anatomical regions. Epileptic activity had significant impact on nocturnal movements but was not required for generation.
SIGNIFICANCE: Where the semiology of the first clinical sign of a seizure consistently matches a patient's nocturnal movements, we suggest that the underlying epileptogenic zone is potentially located within this defined network.
