Abstract
One aspect of the invention provides a method of predicting a seizure in a subject comprising: (a) recording single neuron activity for a plurality of interneurons within the subject's mesial temporal lobe; (b) recording local field potential (LFP) within the subject's mesial temporal lobe; (c) measuring interneuron synchrony within the subject's mesial temporal lobe; and (d) detecting a pattern of interneuron activity and interneuron synchrony within the subject's mesial temporal lobe associated with an increased likelihood of a seizure. Another aspect of the invention provides a method for preventing a seizure in a subject comprising: (a) performing any one of the methods described herein; and (b) upon detection of the pattern, administering a therapeutically effective intervention to the subject to prevent onset of a seizure. Another aspect of the invention provides a non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer-readable program code including instructions for performing any of the methods described herein.
