Understanding Focal Epileptic Networks: A Comprehensive Review

This volume of International Review of Neurobiology delves into the latest concepts and research on focal epileptic networks, a crucial aspect of neurobiology. The series, published since 1959, is renowned for its timely reviews and thematic volumes that focus on recent progress in neurobiology research.

Exploring the Pathophysiology of Epilepsy

Over the past decade, our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of epilepsy has experienced rapid growth. This special volume provides an in-depth overview of modern concepts in epileptic focus organization and altered neural network dynamics, which contribute to the brain tissue’s propensity to generate spontaneous and repeated seizures.

Key Topics Covered

• Seizures: transition and termination
• Limbic networks and their role in epilepsy
• Alteration of metabolism in epileptic networks
• Neocortical focus and malformation of cortical development
• And many more…

Edited by an internationally recognized editorial board, this volume is an invaluable resource for neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists seeking to stay updated on the latest research in neurobiology.
