    High-frequency oscillations (HFOs) and sleep spindles are crucial neural rhythms in NREM sleep relevant to epilepsy research.

  • 2

    Cross-frequency coupling indicates spatiotemporal coordination in thalamocortical–hippocampal networks and may help localize epileptogenic zones.

  • 3

    The review emphasizes the neurophysiological basis of HFOs and spindles, focusing on their pathological alterations in epilepsy.

  • 4

    Neural mass models (NMMs) are evaluated for their potential to explain the generation and abnormal coupling of HFOs and spindles.

  • 5

    Integrating multimodal electrophysiology with computational modeling may enhance diagnostic precision and personalize epilepsy treatments.
