Pathophysiology of epilepsy

Abstract

Core tip: The physiopathology of the epilepsies is still incomplete. A significant number of patients with epilepsy, especially temporal lobe epilepsy, are pharmacoresistant. Surgical incision as a treatment choice for these patients is associated with serious side effects and may be effective for a small percent of patients. Therefore, many researchers hope to find new therapeutic ways for treatment of these drug resistant epileptic patients
