The article titled "Commentary: Epileptic seizure clustering and accumulation at transition from activity to rest in GAERS rats" discusses a study on seizure clustering and accumulation in GAERS rats, a model for absence epilepsy. The authors found that seizures with spike-wave discharges occur during the transition from activity to rest states in these rats. However, the authors criticize the study for not using electroencephalography to define activity-rest states, which they believe is crucial in understanding the generation of absence seizures. They argue that the transition period from wakefulness to NREM sleep is the behavioral state that promotes absences. [Extracted from the article]
