▪ Abstract The highly interconnected networks of the mammalian forebrain can generate a
wide variety of synchronized activities, including those underlying epileptic seizures, which …

Based on the reviewed literature and the data presented in this paper, conclusions can be
drawn with respect to the validity of the WAG/Rij strain of rats as a model for absence …

Absence seizures are the most pure form of generalized epilepsy. They are characterized in
the electroencephalogram by widespread bilaterally synchronous spike-wave discharges …

Childhood absence epilepsy is an idiopathic, generalized non-convulsive epilepsy with a
multifactorial genetic aetiology. Molecular-genetic analyses of affected human families and …

During relaxed wakefulness, the human brain exhibits pronounced rhythmic electrical
activity in the α frequency band (8-13 Hz). This activity consists of 3 main components: the …

Generalized non-convulsive absence seizures are characterized by the occurrence of
synchronous and bilateral spike and wave discharges (SWDs) on the electroencephalogram …

Spike‐wave seizures are often considered a relatively “pure” form of epilepsy, with a uniform
defect present in all patients and involvement of the whole brain homogenously. Here, we …

In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that serotonergic neurotransmission
modulates a wide variety of experimentally induced seizures. Generally, agents that elevate …

Background and Purpose Epilepsy is the most prevalent neurological disease and is
characterized by recurrent seizures. Here, we investigate (i) the anticonvulsant profiles of …

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the haemodynamic response of the cerebral
cortex and thalamus during generalized spike and wave or polyspike and wave (GSW) …
