Description

This volume brings together current research on the idiopathic and symptomatic epilepsies from all relevant basic science and clinical disciplines and identities promising areas of future investigation. Coverage represents advancing areas of biology that are being applied to epilepsy research, including developmental neurobiology, molecular biology and genetics, cellular and systems neurosciences, neurochemical pharmacology, and brain imaging. The book is organized into sections on neural development, genes, and the epilepsies; the idiopathic epilepsies; symptomatic lesional epilepsies; and frontiers in brain imaging and therapeutics. An editors' introduction to each section provides an overview of the fields of biology covered.
