Epileptogenesis in the Dysplastic Brain: A Revival of Familiar Themes.
نویسنده
چکیده
Brain malformations are now widely recognized in many forms of epilepsy. To investigate how malformed brain regions participate in the generation of seizure activity researchers have focused on animal models. Here we describe recent advances in this field.

متن کاملThe Effect of Sensory Stimuli With a Familiar Voice and Patient’s Auditory Preferences on the Level of Consciousness of Brain Injury Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Units
Background & Aims: Most patients with brain injury experience coma based on the severity of the lesion. One of the complications that threaten patients with coma in intensive care units is the risk of sensory deprivation. Frequent sensory stimulation can be helpful in rehabilitation and increasing the level of consciousness of these patients. This study aimed to determine the effect of sensory ...

Epilepsy is a chronic cerebral disorder associated with recurrently occurring seizures resulting from over activity of brain neurons. Since more than one percent of the world's population is suffering from epilepsy, this disease is recognized as one of the most important neurological disorders in modern medicine. Studies indicate that impairment in balance and motor activity are known as one of...
متن کاملO 2: Anti-Inflammatory Approach to Epilepsy Treatment
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic diseases around the world and more significantly in Iran (0.4-1 % worldwide and 5% in Iran). Almost one-third of these patients suffer from treatment-resistant epilepsy, which reduces their quality of life by recurring epileptic onsets. There are different approaches for the treatment of both treatment-resistant and treatment-nonresistant epilepsy, ...
متن کاملPathogenesis of Epilepsy: Challenges in Animal Models
Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic disorders affecting individuals of all ages. A greater understanding of pathogenesis in epilepsy will likely provide the basis fundamental for development of new antiepileptic therapies that aim to prevent the epileptogenesis process or modify the progression of epilepsy in addition to treatment of epilepsy symptomatically. Therefore, severa...
