Abstract
In conclusion we found a uniform pattern in ictal respiratory changes in temporal lobe seizures, due to direct involvement of central respiratory centers. In absence epilepsy, we found a disturbed respiratory control in between seizures. These changes were not present in the patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. The observed interictal changes in respiration in absence epilepsy are most likely due to epileptogenetic changes in the thalamocortical network, involved in absence epilepsy and could not be explained by interictal spike activity.
