“…Seizures are present in the majority of LKS cases (around two-thirds of patients) and are semiologically heterogeneous: focal motor, tonicclonic seizures, and atypical absences (e.g., with chewing gestures or with lip smacking). Behavioral symptoms are frequently associated: hyperactivity; an attention deficit; impulsiveness (leading up to an ADHD picture); irritability; aggressive behavior; in some cases, autistic-like symptoms; anxiety; and depression [27,29,93,160,[162][163][164][165][166][167][168]. In LKS, autism could be due to the epilepsy itself, but the presence of genetic factors common to LKS and autism should not be overlooked [28].…”

Continuous Spike–Waves during Slow Sleep Today: An Update

In the context of childhood epilepsy, the concept of continuous spike–waves during slow sleep (CSWS) includes several childhood-onset heterogeneous conditions that share electroencephalograms (EEGs) characterized by a high frequency of paroxysmal abnormalities during sleep, which have negative effects on the cognitive development and behavior of the child. These negative effects may have the characteristics of a clear regression or of a slowdown in development. Seizures are very often present, but not constantly. The above makes it clear why CSWS have been included in epileptic encephalopathies, in which, by definition, frequent EEG paroxysmal abnormalities have an unfavorable impact on cognitive functions, including socio-communicative skills, causing autistic features, even regardless of the presence of clinically overt seizures. Although several decades have passed since the original descriptions of the electroclinical condition of CSWS, there are still many areas that are little-known and deserve to be further studied, including the EEG diagnostic criteria, the most effective electrophysiological parameter for monitoring the role of the thalamus in CSWS pathogenesis, its long-term evolution, the nosographic location of Landau–Kleffner syndrome, standardized neuropsychological and behavioral assessments, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies.

Neurodevelopmental disorders represent a cluster of conditions first diagnosed during childhood or adolescence (i.e., including intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, motor deficits, and communication deficits). The main characteristic of neurodevelopmental disorders is the presence of a deficit or a delay in the acquisition of skills that may affect different areas of evolution (e.g., cognitive, affective, and motor). These clinical conditions make the child or adolescent passive, isolated, and unable to carry out daily activities. Additionally, challenging behaviors and emotional disruption may be acknowledged. Accordingly, negative outcomes on personal well-being may be recognized. To enhance the well-being of those persons, assistive technology-based interventions (AT) may be useful. Among the new assistive technology are virtual reality, telemedicine, telerehabilitation, serious games, computer-brain interface, and other new technologies aimed at specific rehabilitation objectives. This document aims to give the reader a framework of reference to the literature on the most recent contributions available on the technology-based programs used to improve the well-being of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders such as: serious games, virtual reality, wearable technologies, and telerehabilitation. The results were argued and several options were outlined. The studies reviewed on the eight classes of new technologies showed the accessibility, effectiveness, and suitability of the implemented technologies to enable adaptive skills for participants with NDD. Some helpful solutions for both future research and practice have been evidenced.
