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

Generalized absence seizures are neurophysiologically, pharmacologically, and
developmentally unique and comprise the primary seizure type in a number of different …

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

Models of Seizures and Epilepsy, Second Edition, is a valuable, practical reference for
investigators who are searching for the most appropriate laboratory models to address key …

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 …

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 …

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

Objectives: This review aims to offer a critical account of recent scientific developments
relevant to the hypothesis which Pierre Gloor proposed in the 1970s for the generation of …

Background Genetic rat models for childhood absence epilepsy have become instrumental
in developing theories on the origin of absence epilepsy, the evaluation of new and …
