Absence seizures are classically associated with behavioral arrest and transient deficits in
consciousness, yet substantial variability exists in the severity of the impairment. Despite …

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of absence seizures is
crucial for developing effective, patient-specific treatments for childhood absence epilepsy …

Objective Two types of spike-and-wave discharges (SWDs) exist in childhood absence
epilepsy (CAE): clinical discharges are prolonged and manifest primarily as impaired …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic role of
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in the diagnostic work-up of glucose transporter 1 …

Abstract Objective Approximately 20–30% of epilepsy patients exhibit negative findings on
routine magnetic resonance imaging, and this condition is known as nonlesional epilepsy …

The persistence of typical absence seizures (AS) in adolescence and adulthood may reduce
the quality of life of patients with genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs). The prevalence of …

In this chapter we discuss the connection of consciousness studies with mathematics. We
address third-person validation of first-person experiences in meditational practices of Surat …

From a neurobiological standpoint, the question of consciousness centers on whether one
or more structures in the brain play a role in the function of consciousness. That could be a …
