Once you have had a seizure, for how long will the EEG indicate an intraictal area. Will this stay this way forever - even if you never have another seizure? Or, will the area of the brain return to normal? What are the parameters of time that an EEG can indicate a seizure occured?

You're looking for a lot of precision where none exists. Every brain is different, and just about every seizure is different, too.
I've had infrequent grand mal seizures growing up and a few in adulthood, but nothing has ever shown up on an EEG or MRI. After my sister got her MD, she called them ideopathic seizures. I asked her what ideopathic meant, she said, "It means nobody knows what the [bleep] causes it."
When your sister's a doctor, you start to realize doctors know a lot, but there are some things they will never know, no matter how carefully they study the problem.
