Circannual seizure provocation as the day lengthens in the northern and southern hemispheres
Abstract Circannual status epilepticus (SE) patterns in communities near Earth's poles best test the hypothesis that SE susceptibility varies with light exposure because these communities are routinely subject to large changes in annual light exposure, which may result in changes to daily sleep...

Abstract Circannual status epilepticus (SE) patterns in communities near Earth's poles best test the hypothesis that SE susceptibility varies with light exposure because these communities are routinely subject to large changes in annual light exposure, which may result in changes to daily sleep time. We compared northern hemispheric circannual SE occurrence in Kivalliq, Canada (latitude‐62.8° N) to southern hemispheric Auckland, New Zealand (latitude‐36.9° S). Instead of peaking at a similar calendar time, SE peaked at a similar solar time during the increasing daylight phase after each region's respective winter solstice. This demonstrates that cumulative effects of increasing light exposure can mediate SE susceptibility. |
