Objective:

To summarize the neurophysiological basis of high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) and sleep spindles, focusing on their alterations in epilepsy.

Key Findings:
  • HFOs and sleep spindles are critical neural rhythms in NREM sleep.
  • Cross-frequency coupling reflects spatiotemporal coordination within thalamocortical–hippocampal networks.
  • Pathological alterations in cross-frequency coupling may serve as an electrophysiological marker in epilepsy.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
Conclusion:

The review discusses the integration of electrophysiology and computational modeling in the context of epilepsy.
