Changes in reactivity during the 6/second spike and wave complex.
This study on a patient with the WHAM form of the 6/sec spike and wave complex shows significant delays in reaction time and increased variability when stimuli were presented during the complex and within 1 second after it, especially when the pattern was high in amplitude and short in duration, and also during theta bursts without the spike component. The similarities and differences between this pattern and the 3/sec spike and wave complex are discussed.
