The influence of temperature and genomic variation on intracranial EEG measures in people with epilepsy.

Of particular note, none of the participants had a known genetic epilepsy, yet 3/9 showed a significant increase in IED frequency during heatwave epochs compared to non-heatwaves epochs, and as a group, there was a marginally significant increase in seizure frequency during heatwave compared to non-heatwave epochs, which suggests that it is not only people with (typically rare) genetic epilepsies who may be particularly vulnerable to the impacts of heatwaves.
