Reviews

From the reviews: As a clinical epileptologist interested in fundamental aspects of epilepsy, I obtained a thorough update on the several frontiers of current epilepsy research from this lucid volume. Basic scientists will profit from these 14 distinct and succinct reviews that also treat methodology and pitfalls in detail. Thus, this work is recommended for basic science and clinical epileptologists as well as students of these disciplines. (Warren T. Blume, Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, Vol. 37 (4), July, 2010)
