Description
This volume aims to provide a review of the dynamic aspects of the brain as they relate to epilepsy. Viewing epilepsy as a dynamic disorder, the text offers an array of perspectives from experts in neurophysiology, neuroimaging, surgery and neuropsychology. Major sections focus on dynamic aspects of the brain function, development and propagation of the epileptic process, and the functional changes related to maturation and treatment. Attention is also given to the effects of surgical resection on various brain functions.
