So far, previous studies on the synchronization of epileptic brain networks mainly focused on the synchronization strength, but the synchronization stability has not yet been explored as deserved. In this paper, we propose a novel idea to construct a hypergraph brain network (HGBN) based on phase synchronization. Furthermore, we apply the synchronization stability framework of the nonlinear coupled oscillation dynamic model (generalized Kuramoto model) to investigate the HGBNs of epilepsy patients. Specifically, the synchronization stability of the epileptic brain is quantified by calculating the eigenvalue spectrum of the higher-order Laplacian matrix in HGBN. Results show that synchronization stability decreased slightly in the early stages of seizure but increased significantly prior to seizure termination. This indicates that an emergency self-regulation mechanism of the brain may facilitate the termination of seizures. Moreover, the variation in synchronization stability during epileptic seizures may be induced by the topological changes of epileptogenic zones (EZs) in HGBN. Finally, we verify that the higher-order interactions improve the synchronization stability of HGBN. This study proves the validity of the synchronization stability framework with the nonlinear coupled oscillation dynamical model in HGBN, emphasizing the importance of higher-order interactions and the influence of EZs on the termination of epileptic seizures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/5.0226291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,16]],"date-time":"2025-01-16T13:06:31Z","timestamp":1737032791000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Synchronization stability of epileptic brain network with higher-order interactions"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4009-4374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhaohui","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Yanshan University 1 , Qinhuangdao 066004,","place":["China"]},{"name":"Hebei Key Laboratory of Information Transmission and Signal Processing, Yanshan University 2 , Qinhuangdao 066004,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenlong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Yanshan University 1 , Qinhuangdao 066004,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mindi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Yanshan University 1 , Qinhuangdao 066004,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-9495-2896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Biyun","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Yanshan University 1 , Qinhuangdao 066004,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Functional Neurosurgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University 3 , Beijing 100053,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoxia","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Functional Neurosurgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University 3 , Beijing 100053,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"317","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025011613062500700_c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"6254","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-24644-0","article-title":"Genetic (idiopathic) epilepsy with photosensitive seizures includes features of both focal and generalized seizures","volume":"8","year":"2018","journal-title":"Sci.
