TL;DR: The presence of dissociated sleep/wake states in confusional arousals is the expression not of a global phenomenon, but rather of the coexistence of different local states of being: arousal of the motor and cingulate cortices and inhibition of the associative ones.

TL;DR: Clear functional differences are found between the pregenual part of the cingulate cortex, hosting the majority of emotional, interoceptive and autonomic responses, and the anterior midcingulate sector, controlling themajority of all complex motor behaviours.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate and features of obstructive sleep apnea in adult epilepsy patients and found that OSA in patients with epilepsy is associated with poorer quality of life.

TL;DR: To identify the factors predicting seizure control among several presurgical, surgical, and postsurgical variables, the results on seizures of surgery in children with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy are analyzed.

TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with drug-resistant, disabling sleep-related seizures of frontal lobe origin should be considered for resective surgery, which may provide excellent results both on seizures and on epilepsy-related sleep disturbances.
