Epileptogenic and Excitotoxic Mechanisms

by Avanzini

This volume is based on an advanced course on epileptogenic and excitotoxic mechanisms with emphasis on development. Information on partial and generalized epilepto- genesis, derived from different experimental models, is comprehens- ively reviewed. A section is devoted to the electrophysiology and behaviour of experimentally induced seizures in developing animals. The description of the anatomical, biochemical and functional aspects of the maturing brain and to their interaction with epileptogenic agents is also reviewed.
