We describe an electrical "running down" phenomenon and also a consistent spectral change (in the aperiodic component of the power spectrum) derived from chronic interictal electrocorticography (ECoG) after surgery in a patient with drug‐resistant epilepsy. These data were recorded using a closed‐loop neurostimulation system that was implanted after resection. The patient has been seizure‐free for 2.5 years since resection without requiring the neurostimulator to be turned on to stimulate. Concurrently, there was an exponential decrease in the number of epileptiform electrographic detections recorded by the device, particularly over the first 26 weeks, indicative of an electrical running down phenomenon as the brain adapted to an extended period of seizure freedom. We also find that the aperiodic exponent of the power spectrum gradually decreases over time. The aperiodic component of intracranial ECoG may represent a novel marker of epileptogenicity, independent of seizures.
