Generalized periodic epileptiform discharges

Generalized periodic epileptiform discharges (GPEDs) are a type of abnormal electrical activity observed in the brain, typically seen on an electroencephalogram (EEG). These discharges are characterized by periodic, synchronous bursts of high-amplitude spikes or sharp waves that appear bilaterally and symmetrically across the EEG leads. They often occur in clusters and can vary in duration.
