Electroencephalography of Angelman Syndrome

Electroencephalography (EEG) showing Normal and abnormal EEGs in both human and mouse.

A.

Normal, Segment of routine EEG on a normal 10-yr-old male with no seizures.

AS-Deletion, Background EEG of a 9.5-yr-old male, large deletion AS case.

AS-Non-Deletion, Background EEG of a 10-yr-old male with a UBE3A gene loss-of-function mutation.

The above illustrates that seizures are most severe in AS cases with deletion of the UBE3A gene.

B.

Background EEGs from mouse littermates (gabrb3+/+ and gabrb3−/−) recorded simultaneously at 2 months of age. Electrodes were placed over right and left parietal cortex and referenced to an electrode placed in the nasal bone. Bottom two EEG traces are representative examples from a gabrb3−/− mouse before (b.) and after (a.) administration of ethosuximide (400 mg/kg). Ethosuximide effectively abolished interictal spiking and normalized EEG background.
