Interictal regional delta slowing is an EEG marker of epileptic network in temporal lobe epilepsy

Purpose:  Several studies have suggested that interictal regional delta slowing (IRDS) carries a lateralizing and localizing value similar to interictal spikes and is associated with favorable surgical outcomes in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, whether IRDS reflects structural dysfunction or underlying epileptic activity remains controversial. The objective of this study is to determine the cortical electroencephalography (EEG) correlates of scalp‐recorded IRDS, in so doing, to further understand its clinical and biologic significances.
