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 …

It is currently believed that the mechanisms underlying spindle oscillations are related to
those that generate spike and wave (SW) discharges. The mechanisms of transition …

A great number of clinical observations show a relationship between epilepsy and
depression. Idiopathic generalized epilepsy, including absence epilepsy, has a genetic …

The ultimate goal of epileptology is the complete abolishment of epileptic seizures. This
might be achieved by a system that predicts seizure onset combined with a system that …

In this review, the main characteristics of genetic models of absence epilepsy, in particular
with respect to WAG/Rij rats, are presented. Genetic models are important and relevant …

Epileptic activity in the form of spike–wave discharges (SWD) appears in the
electroencephalogram (EEG) during absence seizures. A relationship between SWD and …

The cortico-reticular theory of absence epilepsy explains the origin of the bilateral
generalized spike-wave discharges (SWDs) characterizing absence seizures via a …
